Hello:
Don't meant to overuse the help of those on this forum with multiple questions in one day. I am creating a really beautiful hex-meshed solid with Mesh-->Revolve, but I have noticed that I get very poor quality elements at the center of the axis of rotation. Is there any easy way to avoid this? I did try cutting a cylinder out of the center of the hemisphere, but I will have to tet mesh the cylinder and glue to the hex mesh, which seems messy. I viewed a video from BlasMolero, a very active member, here, that seems to have the same issue as my model, which makes me think this isn't a big concern.
1. Are the skewed elements at the center not a big deal
2. Is there an easy way to setup a transition between the TET10 bar and the revolved quads with FEMAP V12, or glued the best way to go?
Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this.
