Adaptive

Examples on adaptive mesh refinement

Adaptive I

A plate is bended around a given radius. Adaptive mesh refinement with three refinement levels is used. The number of shell elements is increased from 14 in the starting mesh up to 128 in the end configuration. As refinement criterion total element angle change is employed.

Adaptive II

Thinning of a strip is modeled with three node shell elements. Adaptive mesh refinement with three refinement levels is used. Compare example thinning2.k for usage of four node elements.

Adaptive III

Thinning of a strip is modeled with four node shell elements. Adaptive mesh refinement with three refinement levels is used. Compare example thinning1.k for usage of three node elements.
