Hi!

How can I keep a node in the same location when i remesh?

I want to do a mesh convergence study and was thinking of making a Parameter Set for a Face Sizing on some areas of interest

I solve my system using the default mesh and pick som nodes, and evaluate the totalt strain for those nodes... but when i remesh and go to check the node results the nodes have moved

Can i fix the nodes between remeshing?

Regards

Hi

Make sure to have a vertex at the locations of interest (one can do that by split face , body etc. in discovery/sc/ or design modeler), because the mechanical mesher will always add a node at a vertex, so when the mesh changes it will still add/have a node to the vertex. Scope results to the vertex (not a node).

All the best

Hi Erik!

Thank you, that almost did it for me 🙂 

For Design Point 0 i select a node of interest and evaluate total strain

But for DP 1,2, and 3 Ansys changes the evaluation from “1 node” to “all bodies”

How can i output the “1 node” result for DP 1,2 and 3?

Thank you!

Hi

Just to reiterate (see especially that we need to: 1 split the geometry, and 2nd to scope results of interest to vertex and not the node)

Make sure to have a vertex at the locations of interest (one can do that by split face , body etc. in discovery/sc/ or design modeler), because the mechanical mesher will always add a node at a vertex, so when the mesh changes it will still add/have a node to the vertex.
