Robust Tetrahedral Mesh

About this Block

What it does: Creates a solid mesh from a surface mesh using a robust algorithm. It is tolerant of very low-quality inputs, converting them into FEA quality elements. This block can handle complex parts but is slower than the Volume Mesh block. Commons uses:

• Converting complex surface meshes into solid meshes.

Tips:

• Edge length isn’t a Scalar Field input. Therefore, it can’t vary throughout the mesh.
• Use the Remesh Surface block to clean up the mesh before using the Robust Tetrahedral Mesh block. When doing this, use the same Edge length in both blocks to easily create the 3D elements.
• If your part isn’t that complex, we recommend using the Volume Mesh block for faster results.

Mesh, Scalar, Integer, Scalar, 2.0.0

Mesh a solid domain with tetrahedral elements using algorithms that are tolerant to defects such as self-intersections. This function will remesh the boundary of the input domain to generate valid, high-quality elements. If the input domain is likely to be free of any defects, consider using the faster Volume Mesh block.
