Meshing a hole with concentric Q8 - Nx 12
Meshing a hole with concentric Q8 - Nx 12
(OP)
Hello everyone, I'm learning 2D meshing for an assignment in which I have to determine de stress concentration coefficient of a part. For this I want to make a mesh that is as tidy as possible, but I'm having trouble finding how to mesh the hole so that the mesh makes a concentric pattern around it.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

What have you tried?
What are the problems?
Post picture (not attachments).
Create a circular region around the hole and mesh it uniformly. Then create 8 regions (truncated pie shapes) for the rest.

The partition I'm trying to do is:
I was also trying to modify the mesh in the FEM using mesh control and meshing the hole, but it gives me an error along the lines of "Can't find inner loop".
I have not been able to find a tutorial for this in Nx as of yet.

In FEMAP I would create a series of lines and arcs that define the regions to be meshed. Define the number of nodes along each line and arc. Then mesh each region bounded by 4 lines or arcs.
Basically many auto meshing codes are stupid and hard to force into what you want. Therefore have to manually do some of the steps including setting edge node numbers, spacing and gradients if needed.
