Combining Hex Mesh

Altair Forum User

Sir,

 

   Is it possible to combine hex mesh, like we do for 2D elements?

 

In my case, I have a layer of hex mesh, the elements of which have been split (every single element is split across all of its side using 3D>Split>Solid elements (split into hexa)pannel).

Now I want to combine pairs of two elements within each layer separately.

How is it possible.

Hi,

 

There are few scripts available on Altair HyperWorks Script Exchange site.

 

Please check if those scripts.

I also faced this issue few years ago but now I can do this in few clicks with Simlab (Hexa Layer modify function). If you do this a lot, I recommend you use Simlab (import to Simlab >> Edit >> Export to HM).
