Hi, I am currently working on my master thesis and an important part of it is the simulation of a building in SAP2000ν18. For the slabs I follow the commands Assign - Area - Automatic Mesh Area. Then opens a card with the available mesh options. Where can I apply the none meshing and if I do this, what is the meaning of this option? I read in a site that you can apply none meshing if the plate consists of at least 4 sides? Is this information correct. Also I want to make clear that the plate has to consist of 4 edges or 4 points to apply thiw option?
