Map meshing
Map meshing
(OP)
Any good resources on how to perform map meshing? like books, websites. I tried to map mesh a solder ball, but ANSYS always told me that the topology was not right. Thanks.

RE: Map meshing
RE: Map meshing
Can you clarify what you mean by map meshing ? The reason why I ask is that the pre-processor I use (Ansa) has a number of meshing algorithms within it - one of which is Map meshing and I tend to find that it will map mesh pretty much anything - if I find that the mesh is a bit uneven or not perfectly aligned squares - I just cut the surface into different shaped pieces without affecting the topology to get a better result.
If you are trying to map mesh a sphere - you will probably find that the point on the centreline is causing you a problem, depending on your analysis requirement - you might want to create a hoe running through the centreline of the sphere to allow it to map mesh ?
Hope this helps

RE: Map meshing
For solid elements map (regular) meshing is the foundation for brick (hexahedral) elements and free (irregular) meshing is the foundation for tetrahedral elements irregardless of the order (1st or 2nd) of the element.
