In this tutorial, we walk through the step-by-step process of generating an optimized Hex Mesh for a roller component. If you’ve ever struggled with high node counts or poor-quality metrics in your simulations, this video is for you!
We focus on improving Mesh Quality using professional techniques like the MultiZone Method and Geometry Partitioning. By the end of this video, you will know how to achieve a solver-ready mesh with an ideal Aspect Ratio and Skewness.
Key Concepts Covered:
• Mesh Quality Metrics: Why we target an Aspect Ratio less or equal 5 and Skewness less than 0.7 for reliable FEA results.
• MultiZone Meshing: Converting complex geometries into structured hex elements.
• Geometry Slicing: Using the XY Plane to partition bodies for better mesh control.
• Shared Topology: Forming a "New Part" to ensure nodal connectivity and avoid unnecessary contact regions.
• Local Mesh Refinement: Applying Edge Sizing and divisions to capture stress concentrations at critical edges.
Why Hex Mesh?
Hexagonal elements generally offer higher accuracy and faster solve times compared to tetrahedral meshes. We show you how to reduce your node count while actually improving the precision of your results.
