Question

When creating an FE mesh, a message appears saying that distorted elements have been detected. What should I do?


Answer:

The display of the FE mesh quality can help you calculate planar structural components. When generating the mesh, the created FE elements are subjected to an internal check according to specific criteria. The result can be displayed graphically. Three quality levels are displayed: in green, yellow, or red.

The values of the checked criteria can be customized. Thus, you can adjust them to your individual requirements.

Checking the FE mesh quality thus allows an evaluation of the discretization. For example, it is possible to localize areas that require FE mesh refinement. However, it cannot replace the check of the FE mesh by the engineer.
