SPH meshing problem
Altair Employee Hi,
I am trying to simulate a bird impact on a plate with RADIOSS. So I am creating my model on hypermesh now, i chose to consider the bird as a fluid with a density of 438 kg/m3. I would like to work with SI units and the dimensions of the bird are : 0.1325m long cylinder with two hemisphere ends having a radius of 0.075m. I am now trying to mesh this geometry with the SPH module in hypermesh. So i entered a pitch of 1e-3m and a density of 438kg/m3 as i said before. But when i create the mesh, nothing happen and i only get this message '0 mass elements created'. I attached my file with the topic.
I don't know what could be my error, more of that I tried to do it using mm instead of m and it worked... But I really want to use SI units.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Gaspard.

hi
when you creat SPH particles, you should ensure the pitch is less than the min size pf your model. i met the same problem, because i gave the value of pitch is too large.
