Calculation of 2D Aspect Ratio
Dear all,
I have one element (quad)
I check its aspect ratio by F10 panel is ~3.4 but when I check by quality index, it is ~4.2
What is wrong?
(settings: minsize => shortest edges, aspect => ideas)
Please help, if it is hm bug, was it fixed in HM2017?
the element:


Hi Tinh,
Yes, I noticed the difference. These values are different for F10 and quality index panel.
I'll check internally and will update you very soon.


Hello tinh,
Greetings!!!
I believe we are obtaining A/P ratio of 4.23 when the settings option is set to MINIMAL NORMALIZED HEIGHT in HM.

Hi Tinh,
This is a bug which was reported and this issue will be fixed in the next update (2017.2.2).


Hi Tinh,
I think in this case it has taken ratio of the longest edge of an element to either its shortest edge (5.4/1.3=4.2), which is the Element Quality Calculation for HyperMesh.
Hello,
I downloaded your model and opened in HM2017.
For me aspect ratio by F10 panel is 4.2 same as by quality index.
Thankyou
