expansion factor in Ansa
hi, i'm trying to simulate a oil splash in a gearbox due to the gear rotating. my the solve process could not continue, and i checked the output file. i noticed that the mesh statistic point out that the grid's expansion factor in some domain is "!", which means unacceptable.
in order to avoild this problem. when i generating the volume, i used the "tetra FEM". but the expansion problem is still there when i calculating. i find out that there is no such quality criteria to check the expansion problem, and i do not know why there is an expansion problem. would anyone have experience please help me? thank you! |
Hi There
Which ANSA version are you using? Here are some suggestions -Use MESHV>TETRA RAPID instead of TetraFEM it is much faster -You should check for example Solid Fluent Skewness for 0.9 (an area with very abrupt expansion should also be bad in skewness too -You can also check for Solid Growth Rate say 5 In any case the problem usually comes from bad quality shell mesh Before MESHV check that you shell mesh has Fluent Skew<0.7 for example Hope this helps Vangelis Quote:
