V9R2 now allows users to create Mesh faster and with better quality which allows for more accurate MFBD analysis.

Watch the videos below to learn more about the new functions in Remesh and Shell Mesh.

• Use Current Shell Mesh Info: When creating a Mesh using Solid elements, users first create a Shell Mesh for the surface of a rigid body. After checking the quality of the created Shell Mesh and modifying it, a high quality Solid Mesh is created. This process can be done via the ‘Use Current Shell Mesh info.’ option in the Mesh dialog.
• Remesh Improvement: Various improvements have been made to the Remesh feature. It is now possible to define a different Min/Max for each face prior to Remeshing. In addition, the ‘Fit to CAD Geometry’ option is now available for a Mesh created with Advanced Mesh.

• Quality Check Improvement: It is now possible to check the Min/Max values for the ‘Element Check’ related items. The ‘Line Check’ function has been added to check the connection relation of the lines in the corner. Users can use a newly added tooltip display to check the ID of a low-quality element by selecting it in the dialog box.
• Added functions related to Mesh Healing: It is now possible to integrate nodes, or to separate or merge elements to improve low-quality elements.
  • Node Merge: Ability to merge 2 nodes
  • Combine Shell3: Ability to integrate two Shell3 elements into one Shell4 Element
  • Split Shell4: Ability to split one Shell4 Element into two Shell3 Elements
