StressCheck Tutorial: Performing h-Discretization to Refine Manually Generated Meshes

Abstract: If convergence is not achieved for a full p-extension on a manually-generated mesh of hexahedra/pentahedra (3D) or quads/tris (Planar), h-Discretization is the most efficient way to refine the mesh. Manually-generated meshes can be refined uniformly for elements, or geometrically graded from selected geometric boundaries, element faces (3D) or element edges (Planar).

Testimonials

When performing parametric structural analysis, ESRD’s p-element StressCheck FEA software is always my preferred choice due to the excellent solution quality, parametric framework, and superior computational efficiency. In fact, I recently used StressCheck to generate stress intensity factors along a parametrically defined elliptical crack-tip across 3,000 unique geometric configurations. Considering multi-body contact was present and all simulations were performed using a laptop, this was a task well suited for StressCheck.
