Hello Everybody,

    Juste define a surface within this area and mesh it by keeping the same density. Do equivalent the nodes finally.

    Thank you  Nguyen-Dai! 

    But after doing this way, the elements on the new surface are not connected to the elements from previous surface.

    Hello Amar,

     

    You can try using the command Spline( in 2-D) with the options With/Without/Delete surface. However, before you try this, familiarize yourself with the importance of equivalence command as suggested by Q.Nguyen-Dai. 

     

    Also, you may need to project the new nodes/elements on the surface, if the surface is not planar.
