Hi,
Is there a requirement that Panels must be flat. I try to define a panel by 4 nodes but the geometry of the panel is such that it is not flat ( or distorted ). As the result the panel was considered seperated from other elements.
What should i do to define a distorted panel or surface element?
Cheers.
A panel doesn't have to be flat at all. My assumption is that it just doesn't match to geometry of other part of the model.
Artur a planel as to be in a unique plane? or have I missed something? Eithier it can't be properly meshed?
As I wrote panel do not have to be flat to be meshed
Yeah actually you are perfectly right, I remembered after this topic -> pannel is surely not flat!!
