StressCheck Tutorial: New Mesh Seeding Features in StressCheck v12.0
A new and powerful mesh seeding feature is now available with the release of StressCheck v12.0. Before automeshing a solid body, users may associate manually generated nodes and/or manually meshed elements with that solid body. During the automeshing process, these nodes and/or elements will be incorporated in the resulting mesh.
If users require refinement of the seeded mesh, h-Discretization methods are supported. Note that the automesh must be re-generated after h-Discretizing the seeded mesh.
This tutorial revisits the example from the Getting Started Guide and utilizes seeded hand-meshed elements in the region of interest. The hand-meshed elements are then h-Discretized and the automesh is updated.
