In RFEM 5, I'm finding it hard to generate mesh in my model using different mesh size, without distortion

I'm finding it hard to mesh my model with different mesh size without distortion

Hi Chukwudalu,

did you change the default settings for the mesh quality? If yes, can you share a screenshot of them? If no, please share your model file (without results) so I can take a closer look.

Yes I changed the default mesh quality. My aspect ratio was changed to 1 and 2 for warning and failure value likewise my Jacobian ratio, my corner angle also 60-90 for triangle while square is 90-120. Overall I was aiming for a square mesh and equal size of triangle

Thanks for you reply, to control meshing in rfem5 is a big challenge for me

I see. If you want to apply such strict meshing rules, I think it's best to integrate lines into the surface:

You just draw a line that lies in the plane of the surface and activate this option in the mesh settings:

Then the line becomes a constraint for the FE mesh.

Your maximum diagonal ratio is set to 1.8 but in my own is 1. I'm trying to define square mesh element. Let me send you a picture of what I want to implement in rfem5

The above picture has a different mesh size

I know. 1.8 is the default setting of RFEM 5. I just wanted to show you the necessary option.
Thanks for the image but I can hardly see any details. Could you please provide the image in a higher resolution?
