Finite Element Meshing: Understanding Node Intersections

[Sadeq]

Hello

my question is basic but i would like to know this and get explanation

I a have simple question, about meshing,I know from finite element the it is always better to have node on node of the mesh for two different parts.But if i have node of mesh of on part intersect with line of mesh on the other part(line not exactly the node,,how does this effect the analysis and results

Note: The line of mesh pass through the whole part and nodes lies o this line(hope it now clear)

Thank you again

Meshing is a crucial and important step in finite element analysis. When two different parts are meshed, it is always best to have the nodes of one part aligned with the nodes of the other part. This ensures that the elements in each part can interact with each other properly. If there is a misalignment between the nodes of the two parts, then it can cause errors in the analysis and results. In particular, if a node from one part intersects with a line of mesh from the other part, then this can cause problems with the exchange of information between the elements in each part, leading to errors in the results. It is therefore important to try to ensure that the nodes of the two parts are aligned to avoid any such issues.
