Mesh quality is often overlooked when the plane element itself is not being designed within the relevant software package. But is this a wise approach? While it may save time and computational resources, could it impact the accuracy of load distribution to supporting elements? In this video, we investigate whether mesh quality plays a critical role in influencing load paths and the structural behavior of connected elements.
This content is ideal for structural engineers, civil engineers, and finite element analysis (FEA) practitioners who work with structural modeling and analysis software. It will also benefit engineering students and professionals seeking a deeper understanding of the impact of mesh quality on structural performance and load distribution.
