Hi,
I created a mesh containing rectangles and enabled this option in the config file:
% Divide rectangles into triangles (NO, YES)
DIVIDE_ELEMENTS= YES

However, the results are exactly the same. I opened some flow result files and found that the grid still contained rectangles. Is there anything else that needs to be changed?

Thanks.

Hi,

The element division capability is currently supported only for the mesh deformation code, SU2_DEF.

If you would like to experiment with the element division for the CFD solver, you can comment out the following around line near ~1200 of config_structure.cpp:

if (Kind_SU2 != SU2_DEF) Divide_Element = false;

However, please note that there are no guarantees on performance with this modification, but you might give it a try.

Cheers,
Tom

Thanks a lot. I will give it a try and compare the results.
