[GiDlist] Hexahedron Meshing

Hello,

I have a 19801980450 cm volume and I would like to mesh it with 20 node Hexahedron elements, having 17 elements in each of the 1980 cm sides and 9 elements in the 450 cm side. I would be grateful if you help me how to do this. I am attaching the file as well.

Best Regards,
Arash Farzam

You have tried to use semi-structured mesh. Must use structured mesh.

Mesh-Structured-Volumes-Assign number of cells
select the volume, and set number of divisions=17 in two lines of the base, and 9 in some line of the third direction.

To create quadratic hexahedra of 20 nodes go to

Utilities-Preferences - Meshing,
and set the variable ‘Quadratic type’ to ‘Quadratic’
(Normal will generate linear 8-nodes hexa, Quadratic will generate quadratic serendipit 20-nodes hexa and Quadratic9 will generat quadratic lagrangian 27-nodes hexa)

and generate the mesh (the general size doesn’t matter in this case, because all sizes are set by the number of structured divisions)
