Mesh Refinement with Homard was created by Kamil Gul
Hi All,
I have question

It is possible to refine mesh using Homard using a static elastic load analysis during which the critical areas are meshed more finely.

It is possible to do that for contact loads where the contact stresses are high.
Or Vibrational loads where the structure will be remeshed according to modal criticality.

Last question, I don't have an experience with Homard. Will I be able to use the remeshed model to create or to alter mesh groups (except nodal groups due to renumbering)

Sincerely,

Kamil

Hoi Kamil

you can have a look here:
www.caelinux.org/wiki/index.php/Contrib:KeesWouters/Homard

You can define several criteria as a basis for Homard to perform mesh refinement, the obvious one being the (static) stress. Then, genenally speeking, Homard will refine say 10 % (your choice) of the elements with the highest stress (your choice, eg Von Mises stress or Sxy, I11).

Groups within the mesh will normally remain unchanged (note that you should therefore create geometry groups and not mesh groups).

Kind regards - kees

Thanks Kees,

I have a specific question.

When using coque more precisely in english shell elements. In Abaqus or Ansys you can select that geometrical plane to be the base plane rather than to be the mid plane.Therefore you can assure the shell would expand upward direction.

İs it possible to do the same in Code-Aster. Could you manipulate the extension of the shell.

Sincerely,

Kamil

Kamil,
Do You mean offset of 2D-elements (in french: excentrement)? This is possible. You must specify the value in AFFE_CARA_ELEM groupwise for Your elements, for example

Cara=AFFE_CARA_ELEM(MODELE=modele,
INFO=2,
COQUE=_F(GROUP_MA='ALL_2D',
EPAIS=1.0,
EXCENTREMENT=1.111,),);

Regards,
Johannes Ackva

Hoi Kamil, Johannes,

but mind that this is not valid for COQUE_3D elements. Just a remark; see eg. page 16/53 of U2.02.01 on the C-Aster site.

[code:1]AFFE_CARA_ELEM:
COQ_3D DKT DKTG DST Q4G COQ_x_PLAN/AXIS
EXCENTREMENT no yes no yes yes no[/code:1]

Hi Kees,

Thanks for the responses. I am thinking for 3D Coque Elements and I think I am gonna do that with the inter penetrating shell into bulk material.

When it comes to mesh refinement. I tried to refine an indentation block under the indenter penetration by defining contact. But I can't get it work properly.

It prints out that error message. Any idea?
