Hello,

im doing a study with different optimizations. In this case i compare the results without remeshing. For analysis i need to delete the elements which are not connected with the others.

 

In this case i have a lot of this elements. Is there a possibility for automatisation? A function in hypermesh to delete the floating elements...

 

Thank you very much

    Try: F2 => elems => by attached => reverse => delete entity

    Thank you Q.Nguyen-Dai,

    it helps to remove the elements which were not attached. But i still have a lot of elements which have a negativ affect to the analysis.

     

    Does anybody know how to delete these elements?

     

     

    Thanks

    Or wirte a TCL script to select 'bad' elements according to your criterion and then delete them.
