Constructing submeshes

Construction of a submesh consists of:

• Selecting a mesh which will encapsulate your submesh

• Selecting a geometrical object for meshing

• Applying one or several previously hypotheses and meshing algorithms which will be used at computation of this submesh.

To construct a submesh:

From the Mesh menu select Local Hyp. or click button in the toolbar. The following dialog box will appear:

It allows to define the Name, the parent Mesh and the Geometry (e.g. a face if the parent mesh has been built on box) of the submesh. You can define algorithms and hypotheses in the same way as in Create mesh menu.  

In the Object Browser the structure of the new submesh will be displayed as follows:

It contains:

• a reference to the geometrical object on the basis of which the submesh has been constructed;

• Applied hypotheses folder containing the references to the hypotheses applied to the construction of the submesh;

• Applied algorithms folder containing the references to the algorithms applied to the construction of the submesh.
