measuring tool

Post by studioa »

Hello - is there a way/tool to measure meshes in Elmer (overall length, between nodes, etc)?
I created meshes with different packages and that seems a problem, as once I imported the .vtu into ParaView and I turned on both cases I realized the difference in sizes.

Help really appreciated!

Thanks.

Yeah, I'd like to know this, too, cause I'm facing the same problem..

For the overall dimensions and number of nodes & elements, you can look under Model -> Summary in ElmerGUI.
For mesh size & quality, I think there is only visual inspection. If there is another possibility, I would also be interested to know...

HTH,

Matthias -

I found "Summary ..." tool AFTER I've posted the question.

Would be nice if Elmer would have ability to display Axes (not just the simple Compass) with Grid (like GMSH or other packages) to visualize the overall lengths and display units for clarity.

Thanks.
