Large Models: Essential Meshing – Part 01

Jacobus Oberholster | AEC Engineering Technical Consultant (Prokon)

Navigating the complexities of SUMO with extremely large models poses significant challenges. With an expanding number of elements comes increased analysis time and a subsequent rise in the effort required to rectify model errors. Among these complexities, meshing plane elements emerges as a primary contributor, amplifying both model intricacy and analysis duration.

In this series, we delve into strategies aimed at mitigating these challenges. Part 01 focuses on optimizing the modeling approach for openings in concrete slabs, a pivotal aspect in streamlining SUMO simulations. By implementing the principles outlined in these segments, we aim to streamline your modeling process, minimizing errors, and ultimately reducing troubleshooting time.
