Meshing Curve Surface With Lusas

The document provides instructions for meshing a curved surface in LUSAS using thin shell elements. It describes creating a quarter of the full shell geometry and meshing it with a 4x4 division mesh scheme. It then instructs to copy and rotate the meshed surface three times to create a fully meshed 3D circular shape with consistent 4x4 element divisions in each quadrant.

MESHING CURVE SURFACE WITH LUSAS By Syahrul Fithry Senin

First of all, you should create a quarter of the full shell geometry as shown in below

Then select Attribute->Mesh->Surface and choose Thin Shell element (if thickness/longest length < 0.1). If your thickness/longest length > 0.5, use Thick Shell I assume that the shell has t/L < 0.1, so i choose Think Shell Element. For preliminary meshing, I will use quadrilateral mesh with 4 x4 division meshing. I will named this settings as mesh 4 x 4

Select the created surface with ur mouse and the surface will be darkened as shown below

Select the mesh settings on the left side with ur mouse and ensure that the surface has beenl selected (still dark), drag and drop the mesh 4 x 4 to the darkened surface. The surface will be meshed by 4 divison and 4 division in perpendicular direction.

Using this mesh scheme, u may see that the curvy portion of the original shape was not connected by curvy lines...but in order to increase ur accuracy, u need to use finer mesh . Select the whole surface and right click and pick copy. Under copy dialog box, pick rotate and input the angle to be 90 degrees (-ve rotation) and input the origin of the rotation to be x =0, y=0, z=0 Change the number of copied surface to be 3 times and click OK

Walla. You just created a 3D circular shape with 4 x 4 mesh in each quadrant.
