Meshing the Assembly and Running the Study

  1. In the Simulation study tree, right-click Mesh and select Create Mesh .
  2. In the PropertyManager, apply the recommended mesh settings.
    Mesh Parameters settings
    Standard mesh Selected
    Global Size Calculated by the mesh algorithm
    Tolerance Calculated by the mesh algorithm
    Automatic transition Selected
    Advanced settings
    Jacobian points (for solid mesh only) 16 points
    Automatic trials for solid (for solid mesh only) Selected
    Number of trials 3
    Remesh failed parts independently Selected
    Mesh Quality High
  3. Under Options, select Run (solve) the analysis.
  4. Click to accept the values.
    The mesh is created and the analysis is performed.

    The shell bottom face is shown with orange color. Shell orientation is important when you view stresses after you run the analysis.
