\n MESH module allows you to work with <b>Quadratic Elements</b>.
|
|
|
|
Quadratic Edge is not a straight but a broken line and can be defined
|
|
by three points: first, middle and last. All more complex \b Quadratic
|
|
\b Elements differ from ordinary ones in that they consist of Quadratic
|
|
Edges.
|
|
|
|
<em>To add a quadratic element to your mesh:</em>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Select your mesh in the Object Browser or in the 3D viewer.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>From the \b Modification menu choose the \b Add item and select
|
|
one of the following:

|
|
\note All dialogs for quadratic element adding to the mesh
|
|
provide the possibility to automatically add an element
|
|
to the specified group or to create the group anew using
|
|
<b>Add to group</b> box, that allows choosing an existing group for
|
|
the created node or element or giving the name to a new group. By
|
|
default, the <b>Add to group</b> check box is switched off. If the user
|
|
swiches this check box on, the combo box listing all currently
|
|
existing groups of the corresponding type becomes available. By
|
|
default, no group is selected. In this case, when the user presses
|
|
<b>Apply</b> or <b>Apply & Close</b> button, the warning message box
|
|
informs the user about the necessity to input a new group name. The
|
|
combo box lists both \ref standalone_group "standalone groups"
|
|
and \ref group_on_geom "groups on geometry". If the user chooses a
|
|
group on geometry, he is warned and proposed to
|
|
\ref convert_to_standalone "convert this group to standalone".
|
|
If the user rejects conversion operation, it is cancelled and
|
|
a new quadratic element is not created.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To create any <b>Quadratic Element</b> specify the nodes which will form your
|
|
triangle by selecting them in the 3D viewer with pressed Shift
|
|
button. Their numbers will appear in the dialog box as <b>Corner Nodes</b>
|
|
(alternatively you can just input numbers in this field without
|
|
selection).The edges formed by the corner nodes will appear in the
|
|
table. To define the middle nodes for each edge double-click on the
|
|
respective field and input the number of the node. All edges and the
|
|
object formed by them will be displayed in the Object browser. When
|
|
all edges are defined you will be able to click \b Apply or <b>Apply and Close</b> button to
|
|
add the element to the mesh.

\b Reverse button for Quadratic Edges switches the first and the last
|
|
nodes. For all other elements it reverses the element.
