Mesh Refinement and Best Practices - FEA using ANSYS - Lesson 5

This tutorial focuses on defining the mesh for a model, and the types of elements that can be used to solve the finite element method. Learning objectives: 1. Contrast linear elements with quadratic elements. 2. Interrogate the mesh statistics and quality to ensure the elements are well-formed. 3. Refine a mesh locally to properly capture stress concentrations. 4. Automatically refine a mesh using a convergence criteria.
