Reply To: Non-Convex Cells in ANSYS Forte

Hi:

 

COnvex cells are when the mesh folds on itself during motion.  This can happen when elements are too small for compression.

The appearance of your mesh suggests that the control point 3 and maybe 5 may be placed incorrectly, or that there are not enough nodes between 2 and 3.  I would check all the mesh settings and try to obtain an appearance similar to the template image below.
