SubscriberI have been doing static structural analysis of my roll-cage (ATV) using 1D mesh. The mesh formed was basically segments of the tube that I have used for my roll-cage. There were no errors during meshing but when I checked the different options in mesh metrics such as element quality, aspect ratio etc, I observed that all of the values were 0 by default. I am unable to understand why did it happen so because when I had analyzed the roll-cage using 2D mesh elements I was able to get non zero values for the same. Can anyone help me out with it?

Subscribern2D and 3D elements can be checked using various mesh quality metrics. There is the concept of an ideal shape, for example a square is the perfect four node shell element shape. As the shape deviates from a perfect square, the mesh quality metrics such as Aspect Ratio and Skewness reduce from their ideal value.n 1D elements are not checked because every element is ideal. A two node beam element is always a straight line between two points.nViewing 1 reply thread- The topic ‘Mesh Metric: Element Quality Issue’ is closed to new replies.
