Femap
Femap
(OP)
Hello everybody !
I would like to know how I can manually move nodes in femap in order to get a better mesh and also how i can paste nodes.
Moreover, i'd like to know if there is a powerful tool to automatically improve a mesh (like the recons in ansa for example).
Thank you for your answers.

RE: Femap
The tools in the meshing toolbox are also VERY helpful, particularly the mesh sizing tools. Preparing your geometry before meshing is very important to obtaining a good mesh. The tools in the Geometry Editing and Feature Editing menus of the meshing toolbox are very handy for this. I would suggest you play around with the tools to see what's available and what works for you. FEMAP is a very powerful pre-processor once you learn to use it. It's much more intuitive than PATRAN, which I used for several years before encountering FEMAP.
I hope this helps.

RE: Femap
2) as above there are several ways to do what you want ...
a) modify/edit/node ... allows you to reposition a node,
b) i'm pretty certain you can embed a node into the mesh, something like mesh/mesh control/mesh points on surface,
c) under mesh/editting you can easily remesh surfaces (loads applied, like pressure, are correctly refined),
d) under mesh/refine you can remesh beams (be aware that this will "mess" loads applied to the beams),
3) get some training, read the manuals, ask the help desk
