Hi,

I have one question: How to change the shape of the refinement "box". I know it called "box" for a reason, but is there a way that i can change the shapes in to cylinder-shape or triangle shape?

Thanks in advance.

    Hi Thường,

     

    You can use Region Mesh Control in Simlab to do this easily.

    Hi Alpha,

    Thank you for your reply,

    Regarding to my question, I would like to change the shape in Hypermesh.

    I would really appreciate if you could answer to my question

    Hi,

    You can move nodes of the box to form triangle shape:

    Could you try to form cylindrical shape from the box?

    If it is not possible, you may need to write a Tcl script to remesh cylindrical regions. Developers will not bring simlab's features in to Hypermesh, because - please trust me, Altair wants to sell SimLab, too!
