GGU-ELASTIC: Button "Regular"

The regular array allows the nodes to be defined in a number of ways:

• "Line"- along one or more lines,

• "Rectangle" - in one or more rectangles,

• "Quadrilateral" - in one or more quadrilaterals.

The procedure is similar for all three cases. Therefore, only the rectangles will be described.

Enter the corner points of the array and the number of subdivisions. If the "Generate new mesh" check box is activated, all existing nodes are deleted and then the user-defined FEM nodes in the dialog box are generated with the appropriate FEM mesh.

If you would like to build a system consisting of several rectangles, the "Generate new mesh" check box must be deactivated. The existing FEM nodes and the associated mesh are then retained.
