Hi,

I have a properly meshed surface say surf1.

I have another surface which is exactly similar to surf1 say surf2.

I have to extract mesh params from surf1 and i have to re-create the mesh on the surf2 as same as on surf1

Can any one give me the ideas to do this.

Thanks in Advance

    If the two surfaces are parallel (e.g. a pair of flanges) I'ld create a copy of the elements and translate the elements. As an alternative you could see if 'Tool->position' would do what you have in mind. In any case, both operations will not associate the mesh with the geometry, so you may want to associate the nodes with the surf (Geom->node->associate)

    Hi,

     

    sometimes it is not possible to create a mesh, that fulfill all of your parameters.

    Try to mesh with '2D->Automesh->QI optimize' and set your parameters at 'edit criterias'.

     

    Or mesh it by size and bias, interactive and use afterwards '2D->quality index->cleanup tools'.

     

    Regards,
