Elements too small -->error

Altair Forum User

Hi. I have meshed this component with solid map but I have run into a problem. In fact, those elements I have pointed out are extremely small and an error arises: *** ERROR # 2203 ***

Error(s) encountered during element check

 

Before meshing, what can I do? Note that I am working on a solid and not on surfaces.

 

Thank you.

If you want these kinds of checks ignored during analysis, you can use PARAM CHECKEL set to No in the control cards,

 

However the best way always is to first do geometry editing to remove small sections and then mesh.

The problem is that I don't know how to edit the geometry.

If you don't know how to do it, so try to learn /emoticons/default_smile.png' alt=':)' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' width='20' height='20'>

See http://training.altairuniversity.com/modeling/geometry-2/ especially the geometry editing section.

 

The geometry chapter etc in the FEA guide - http://www.altairuniversity.com/free-study-guide-book/ 

 

There are several tutorials in the help documentation.
