Tetra 3D Mesh with defined Nodes

Hey guys, is there any Chance to build a mesh in a Cube with user defined Nodes.

I want to do a electromagnetic Simulation and Need the results in some exact, by me defined nodes.

In Detail I want to mesh the Cube, refine the mesh in the middel (where the coil will be) with a refinement box and finally want to plot the results of an Magnetic field at definite coordinates (here I want to have the defined nodes).

 

Thank you!

    • If all your nodes are on a plan, cut the cube by this plan.
    • Make 2D mesh passed by defined nodes (easy!)
    • Fill closed 2D mesh to get 3D tet mesh.

    Hi,

    try make rule mesh (2D>ruled) from this node list to exterior nodes

    then make 3D>tetra from these elements, tetra elements will share nodes with them

    Okay thanks guys. That sounds good.

    How do I do the 2D mesh with the defined nodes?

    Many posibilities :

    • You can associate nodes to geometry (edge, surface,...)
    • You do 'approximate' 2D mesh with defined nodes => Equivalent tool
    • You make 'imprint' nodes over 2D mesh,
    • .....
