What is Mesh: Definition and 244 Discussions

I have installed LS Prepost beta(3.0). I was trying to work on the ball impact tutorial. I used the old to new tab to get to the GUI interface. I could find the mesh tab and gave the dimensions. It asks to then click on mesh render. I did not find any tab like mesh render. I need to know know...

I'm using anysis to model a 3-d object. I'm using a series of beams. however, when i try to mesh the beams, it says that it's unable to do that. When I add a shell, anysis meshes the model. How do I create a mesh with only beam objects?

Hi Guys, I seem to have forgotten most of EM, but I was hoping for some help on estimating the capacitance of a wire mesh/grid parallel to a solid plane. I'm guessing that it will follow the form of a simple parallel plate (with the appropriate area factor) if the geometries are such that the...

COMSOL Rectangular mesh (VERY URGENT) I am trying to modify the mesh of a COMSOL simulation. I need to make my mesh rectangular instead of triangular that COMSOL defined already. Thanks. Engin

I'm quite confused by mesh analysis. I understand that the idea is basically to apply KVL to each mesh. For example, if you have a loop that contains, say, a 3ohm and 2ohm resistor, and that's it, what is the correct KVL equation? Is it simply 0=3I+2I? As another example, check out this...
