METHODS FOR MESH GENERATION

The objective of this example is to mesh a model using the various options available in GiD for body-fitted meshes controlling the element type in structured, semi-structured and unstructured meshes. It also presents how to concentrate elements and control the distribution of mesh sizes, as well as the generation of embedded and cartesian meshes.
The methods covered are:

• Generating a mesh using tetrahedral
• Generating a volume mesh using spheres
• Generate a mesh using circles
• Generating a volume mesh using points
• Generating a mesh using quadrilaterals
• Generating a structured mesh on surfaces and volumes
• Generating a semi-structured volume mesh
• Generating a mesh using quadratic elements
• Generating a mesh with minimum number of elements
• Generating cartesian meshes
• Generating embedded meshes
