I&#8217;m trying to perform the uniaxial non-homogeneous traction test with the microplane damage model. I need the mesh to be refined in the central section of the mesh, but only there. I can refine at the tip of the notch using the &#8220;refinement&#8221; command in the small sections of the notch but what I need is to refine in the whole central section of the piece (in this way only the volume near the notch is refined). I&#8217;ve tried too to split the domain in three parts in spaceclaim, but it&#8217;s converted to three different bodies with no connection between them.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s is the correct approach to refine a region of a body (in this case the central section) that is not attached to a surface where you can impose the refinement command. How can I subdivide a body in sections without split it only for the meshing purpose? I attach a screen capture of my domain.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you very much in advance,<\/p>\n<p>Sergio<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/11\/28-11-2022-1669644517-Captura.PNG\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-242212","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["260338","240"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.192.164.18"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["1627"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["242212"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["240","260338"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["242322"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["242322"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2022-11-29 10:20:40"]},"test":"sergio-blancoupm-es"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/242212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/242212\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=242212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
