Mesh Generation

Mesh generation capabilities in ADINA include:
  • meshing for 1D elements such as truss, beam, and pipe elements,
  • 2D surface meshing for shells, plates, and 2D planar elements, and
  • general 3D meshing for solids and fluids
This section on mesh generation mostly describe our 3D meshing capabilities which include:
  • mapped meshing that generates brick, wedge, or tetrahedral elements, and
  • free-form meshing that generates tetrahedral elements.
  • mixed free-form meshing that generates hexahedra along with pyramids (if desired) and tetrahedra
