How to resolve the mesh motion distortion error in Acusolve?

User: "Sivaprakash_V"

Hi Good Day!

I am performing the moving mesh using the ideal gas compression tutorial. After Updating the solution ,I encounter a mesh distortion error after some time steps . I’ve experimented with different element sizes, both coarse and fine, but the issue persists.

Is there a recommended way to resolve this error?

Thanks & Regards,

    It depends on what is the behavior. If you output fairly frequently, then you can use Post-Processing to look into what the mesh is doing. Are nodes moving that should not be moving? Are nodes not moving that should be moving? Is the mesh compressing so much that the distortion eventually cannot be handled? Etc. If you can review the behavior, you may be able to determine where/when/why the distortion occurs. Feel free to add images/animations showing the behavior.
