Sweep Meshing - simple but hard to achieve

[Vitkacy1989]

Hi All,

Please see picture at the bottom. I have two queries regarding sweep meshing for a nice cylindrical part:

A. How to force orange body to have a nice radial-form mesh?
B. How to force green body to sweep along length without rotation (you may see that mesh is slightly rotated)?

You could try mesh decomposition. For your problem, perhaps have 4 quarters of the rod and 4 quarters of the orange body. You could then put hard size controls to force the sizing that you want. An approximate example can be found here.


Kind regards,
Jason

Try Face Meshing, under Mesh Control. It worked pretty well for me.

A) If you define a edge size for the outermost radius you can obtain a more dense mesh
