I want to generate a mesh density(element size) contour for my model. Just like the stress or displacement contour. Does HyperMesh or HyperView has this feature?

    In your case what dimension would you plot? maximum? Average?

     

    In HM, there is a "similar" plot if you go to check elems panel, check for maximu length and use 'assign plot'.

    Not exactly what you're looking for, but it might help.

    @Qiang Liu what type of element? shell ? solid?

    When you speak about "element size" how can you calculate the "size"?

    Here're some examples:

    For Longest side

    For Shortest side

    For element area

    Have a look at my H3D files in attachment.
