Tetrahedral Meshing: Monitor - Bracket - Solids - HM

The document provides instructions for tetrahedral meshing of a monitor bracket geometry in HyperMesh. It describes loading a binary file, creating a component collector, using the tetra mesh command with default volume tetra settings, disabling the geometry display, and saving the tetrahedral mesh as a new binary file.

TETRAHEDRAL MESHING

If you wish, you may omit the previous working steps related to the portioning of the bracket and
start with an updated geometry.
Load the HyperMesh binary file named: monitor_bracket_solids.hm

Before you start meshing you may create a new component collector (Right mouse click in the Model
Browser CreateComponent) which will take up the elements we are going to create. In this way
geometry and solid elements can be assigned different colors – if necessary/wanted.

Note: the collector being created last is automatically the “active/current” one. For safety sake, view
the model browser and make sure the component collector of interest is active i.e. marked bold.

Open the meshing menu and choose ‘Tetra Mesh’.

As the geometry is made of solids, the option “volume tetra” is activated with the following settings.
Note, that the option “3D type: tetras” may create elements such as pyramids or

prism elements. These elements are embedded in the overall tetra mesh!

To ease element visualization, the geometry is disabled from the display (deactivate the geometry
icon in the Model Browser)

Also, if you like to view any pyramid or prism elements which may be hidden “somewhere”, just
make use of the MASK Browser. Activate the “isolate” option 1 next to Pyramid5. This will then mask

10
all elements but the Pyramid elements (If there are no pyramid5 elements then it will not show any
elements)

Save the tetra-meshed bracket as a HyperMesh binary file: monitor_bracket_tetra.hm
