Tim:
I'm not sure I understand your question, but in short: A mesh is a good
initial mesh for a curved geometry if it adequately resolves the curvature of
the surface you want to mesh. For example, if the surface oscillates with a
vertical deformation like
sin(2*pi*x/lambda)
then you can't
It's now too late to edit my question, but I already realized that the size
and location difference between the geometry and mesh is because I didn't
scale the geometry by 0.001 as is done in the tutorial. And I know you can
generate an initial mesh from gmsh or another tool.
My final questions ar
Hello,
Forgive me if I missed something obvious.I'm having trouble understanding
the function of the initial mesh file and how to create one that is
suitable for a custom NURBS geometry. It looks like the mesh file in the
Step-54 tutorial contains two facets that are very small compared to the
