- Figure 1 - nLMesh Line Mesh
Purpose: This interface is for shell mesh generation using curves. The following methods are available:
- 2 line Shell - Create a mesh between 2 lines
- 3 line Shell - Mesh a region bounded by 3 lines
- 4 line Shell - Mesh a region bounded by 4 lines
- Line Sweep - Create a mesh by sweeping one line along another line
This interface is often useful in cases where a topology mesher leaves holes due to missing CAD surface data
Controls:
- Type: 2 Line Shell, 3 Line Shell, 4 Line Shell
Number of Elements - Mesh by number of elements
Element Size - Mesh by element size- Point of Line - Mesh by existing points of line
- N1: Enter or adjust number of elements along line 1
- N2: Enter or adjust number of elements along line 2
- N3: Enter or adjust number of elements along line 3
- N4: Enter or adjust number of elements along line 4
- Part Id: Enter or select target part ID
Get new default part ID
Perform meshing
Accept the created mesh
Reject the created mesh or the selected lines
Exit the nLMesh Interface
- Figure 2 - nLMesh Line Sweep
- Type: Line Sweep
- Number of Elements - Mesh by number of elements
- Element Size - Mesh by element size
- Point of Line - Mesh by existing points of line
- N1: Enter or adjust number of elements along cross section
- N2: Enter or adjust number of elements along sweep path
Keep Angle - Keep the angle between the cross section and sweep path
Keep Cross-section - Keep the elements from cross-section
- Part Id: Enter or select target part ID
Get new default part ID
Perform meshing
Accept the created mesh
Reject the created mesh or the selected lines
Exit the nLMesh Interface
