Mesh Convergence Study on Side Bracket using Hex-dominant and Tetrahedron-dominant Mesh
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This study explores the importance of mesh convergence studies in improving the precision and dependability of numerical simulations by delving into their complex reality. With finite element analysis, mesh quality and density must match element size and shape to produce accurate results. The output of a finite element model is tested for sensitivity to changes in the mesh or grid resolution using a numerical simulation technique known as a mesh convergence study. This research focuses on finite element analysis (FEA) and mesh convergence study for a side bracket geometry as an example. The goal of this mesh convergence research is to determine the optimal mesh resolution that yields results with the appropriate level of precision at a reasonable processing cost by considering mesh characteristics such as element quality, aspect ratio, Jacobean ratio and skewness and evaluating with stress and deformation results using ANSYS.
