2 questions: polygon algorithm (5 sided surface) + points by path

Hi,

I failed finding for the "polygon" algorithm to mesh a 5 sides surface

In addition, I wanted to add fixing points by path using existing nodes, but I've found nothing in all options nor specific icons: what am I missing?

Note:

I tried to reproduce here the same methodology, but I'm wondering if either HM used the (source) surface, (source) elements or both?
however i need to try several time before to success … 🤪

HyperMesh

Hi Paul

Freeform or Batchmesher should be able to mesh that without issue. What are you running into?

And this is how you can add fixed points by nodes in a couple manners as shown in my image and Altair Copilot

Hi Jason,

Thanks for the answer.

First, concerning the fixing points, I found how to add them ounce at a time; let me test your suggestion.

For the polygon mesher (option i used years ago with HM), you can see in the figure here bellow what i'm speaking about:
