    Impact Mesh
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the creation of an irregular tri mesh using Marc MSC's Automesh option for volumes, raising concerns about its impact on analysis results. While the bulk of the mesh appears acceptable, there are concerns regarding skinny, dart-like triangles that may lead to inaccuracies. It is noted that as long as adjacent elements are similar in size and avoid large angles, the mesh should perform adequately. Irregular meshes can sometimes outperform regular ones, particularly in avoiding problematic angles. The user plans to conduct further analysis and share results based on this mesh.

As in the subject. I have created tri mesh on my solid and it is completely irregular. Does it have any impact on later results of the analysis? Can it be repaired somehow? I attached a picture in case you would like to see it. I am working with Marc MSC

Did you personally create this mesh, or did a meshing routine from Marc MSC create it?

The bulk of the meshing appears to be fine. However, on the right hand side of the image, where the size of the triangles gets noticeably smaller, it's really hard to tell, but it looks like a bunch of skinny, dart-like triangles. This might give relatively inaccurate results.
 
I created it by a meshing routine from Marc. I used Automesh option for a case of Volumes.
I was trying to transform STL model to solid and I managed to create the mesh inside the model.
Do you think that meshing with use of Automesh -> volumes was a good way to achieve this?

It looks like the surface of a 3D mesh on a cylinder to me. The "small" triangles are part of the curved surface.

So long as adjacent elements are about the same size as each other, and there are no elements with large angles (90 degrees or bigger) at a corner, there shouldn't be any problems. In fact an "irregular" mesh can be better than a "regular" mesh like squares or cubes divided up into triangles, because in that type of mesh there are many triangles with a 90 degree angles.

FWIW very small angles (like 1 degree) can look strange, but they are harmless compared with large angles.
 
Thank you guys for help. I will inform you if I perform some analysis with this model.
And yes AlephZero, you were right, that is a model of 3D cylinder.
 
Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
TL;DR Summary: Heard in the news about using sonar to locate the sub Hello : After the sinking of the ship near the Greek shores , carrying of alot of people , there was another accident that include 5 tourists and a submarine visiting the titanic , which went missing Some technical notes captured my attention, that there us few sonar devices are hearing sounds repeated every 30 seconds , but they are not able to locate the source Is it possible that the sound waves are reflecting from...
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
