Deflection 1D hypothesis

Deflection 1D hypothesis is used to build 1D mesh on geometrical edges.

A geometrical edge is divided into equal segments so that the maximum distance between the edge curve and the line connecting segment ends is not more than the specified deflection value. Then mesh nodes are constructed at segment ends location and 1D mesh elements are constructed on them.

 

To define the Deflection 1D hypothesis:

 

From the Create Hypotheses menu select Deflection 1D and click Create. The following dialog box will appear:

 

 

In this dialog box you can set:
