How to visualize highly distorted mesh -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

November 12, 2011, 17:50	How to visualize highly distorted mesh	#1
lingdeer Member Lingdeer Join Date: Jul 2011 Posts: 49 Rep Power: 14	I am running 2 way FSI simulations and my simulation crashed as I lower my young modulus from 1e7 to 1e5. (1e7 worked but 1e5 crashed). The error is failure in reading mesh displacement, because of highly distorted elements. I wonder how can I visualize and check the region where the mesh distorted/collapsed to see how I can improve the mesh to improve the results. I read the CFD post manual but it is unclear how I can visualize and fix the mesh. Thanks a lot!
