Meshing > Generating surface wrap bodies and meshes
Create a parabolic quadrilateral 2D mesh
This example shows how to create 2D parabolic quadrilateral mesh using Surface Wrap Recipe.
Choose Surface Wrap tab→Surface Wrap group→Surface Wrap Recipe .
Select the polygon body.
Set the following:
Surface Wrap Interior/Exterior = Wrap around the Exterior
Auto Calculate
Use Automatic Refinement
Max Subdivision = 2
Type = Surface Wrap Body and Associated 2D Mesh
Type = QUAD4 Thin Shell
Click OK.
In the Simulation Navigator , right-click the surface wrap recipe node and choose Wrap.
