The model shows the possibility of arranging a layered mesh in addition to a holistic FE mesh refinement in extended solids. In this process, the solid is subdivided into precise individual mesh layers by a defined division between two parallel surfaces, whereby FE elements are arranged in a targeted manner. The arrangement promotes improved element modeling, which is particularly suitable for geometries with small height dimensions. The visualization shows clearly defined mesh areas that highlight the layered structure and the effect of the FE elements.
