How to make perfect square elements in solid map

Altair Forum User

Here is the problem, I have a curved surface, after meshing and the element offset, the layer is generated. Then use the solid map command to generate the solid elements, the destination surface is a surface below the layer. After above done, as can be seen, the elements on the bottom place are not perfect squares which do not satisfy the requirement. So, how can I make the perfect square elements when I do this?

Hi,

Because of curved surface you got such pattern in bottom face.I feel this mesh is very good to carry out analysis.

Not possible to get perfect square element unless you have similar face on both side.

Hi, 

This is just an example of what I am trying to do, the object of what I am going to mesh is one part of a plain woven composite material, so, it requires that the RVE must be periodic , that's why I want it to be perfect squares.

Thanks for your interest

Could you share snapshot of your model or share your geometry using below ftp link.
