Hello!,
This command allows you evenly split any 1-D, 2-D & 3-D connected linear or parabolic elements based on selection of 2 nodes on a single element edge. The “direction” of the split (i.e., “split path”) is initially perpendicular to the selected element edge, then continues element by element until all appropriate elements have been split.
Any line, shell, or solid (Hex and Wedge only) element in the “split path” will be split, as long as the “split patterns” used in the splitting algorithm create elements with appropriate topology and maintain mesh connectivity.
The new elements will have the same material orientations and "geometry associativity" as the original elements. In addition, any regions associated with the elements will also be updated to contain the new elements or nodes.
Impressing, eh?. Give a try to this new command .... and enjoy!.
Best regards,
Blas.
