    Hi,

     

    ideally, you should have splitted your geometry from the beginning, if you're working with geometry. You could use regular 'split' or if you have a reference line set, then use the 'imprint' tool to split your surfaces, thus your mesh will follow.

    BUT, if you do it right now, after having the mesh, you would need to adjust the mesh again, in order to get a better mesh flow and quality.

    Results in something like this.

    Another option you might want ot try is the 'Edit Elements' >> Split tool

    Resulting in something like this.

    Or in newer version, if you don't have a geometry, but only the mesh, you can turn it into a 'FE geometry'.

    FE geoemtry is a mesh that supports the geometry tools operations, such as split, and others. So even with no geometry, it is possible to perform some very nice operations.

    I knew, I can split the elements using element edit option, with this option I have to draw the lines by points in it.  but I need to it for large number of elements.

     

    I need to write tcl macro or some other option, by selecting the displayed elements and select the lines to split the selected elements.

     

    Please let me know, if any option available

     

    Thank you in Advance,

    Dinesh
