Hello everyone

 

I have a quite complexe geometry to mesh. For this I have applied 'Check Elements Quality Index', where it shows the quality of the elements. Now I would like to know, if there is a possibility to cut the model, to be able to see the inner contours and how the elements looks there. Then I could have a better overview of the situation and know what to change for the mesh.

 

I thank you in advance for your help!

    Hello,

     

    Align the model view to an axis first.

     

    Then click F5

    This is the mask element panel.

    Select the elements how ever you want (preferably using a rectangular section)

     

    Then click on mask elements.

    This should solve your purpose.

     

    Thankyou

    Hi,

    Along with the option specified by Sanjay you can also try the hidden line option (Post>>hidden line) in HyperMesh, where you can trim the model with respect to planes.

    Great thank you very much!

     

    Is there also a way to cut it with the coloured element quality check?

    Mask the elements first using the F5 panel.

    Then create a View of this by right click>>View

     

    Then you can go to Quality Index Panel.

     

    Thankyou
