Hello. Can anyone offer any advice about localised solid (or shell) remeshing to account for geometry changes? By this I mean the following - we build an assembly model using parts created in Solidworks, which is then meshed (usually a combination of shell and solid elements). We usually need to make changes to the model which can, in the simplest case, be a hole in a part. Currently we make the hole in the solid, then remesh the whole part from scratch and this causes the remaining elements to lose connectivity across the boundaries with other parts, at connections to rigids, and at loads. Therefore, we end up (usually) having to remesh the whole assembly and reconnecting all the various parts which can be extremely time consuming just for a small modification. Ideally, we would want to be able to remove a region of elements around the modified geometry, and then remesh that area with the new elements connecting to the existing elements and also taking account of the geometry change. Is this something possible to achieve?
