Hai,

This is guna from Renault Nissan. I want to know the command to get 'Good transition from 10mm mesh to 2 mm mesh'.

Image x --> How I need the mesh transition to be

Image y --> How I get mesh transition in HM (by Automesh command)

 

Note : I am using HM v14.

    When you have big diffence in element size, it's better to make several transition zones (geometru splitting). By this method, in stead of do 10mm=>2mm, you can do 10mm=>8mm=>5mm=>2mm.

    These videos will help to learn 2D and 3D mesh transition technique.

    hi Guna,

     

    you're looking for the 'redo connectivity' option in automesh panel.

    I'm sorry, i've sent the message before the end. 

    Here, setting 'redo connectivity', when you select elems and remesh, you can choose number of adjacent layers to be in the transition zone and if it will change the inside elements or outsiders.

    a couple more images from the result. I've started from a 10mm regular mesh, and i've selected the elements to be refined.

    I've remeshed to 5mm target, and kept 2 layers for transition and 'inside' disabled, so that the selected region was remeshed to 5mm and the transition was kept outside. taking 2 adjacent layers.
