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.
