• An example of a mesh generation for a reactor pressure vessel is shown here.
• The mesh size is quite big, as large as 11 million nodes and 35 million DOFs.
  • Surface mesh
    • Number of nodes: 951,506
    • Number of triangular patches: 1,903,980
  • Inner mesh
    • Number of elements: 7,486,792
    • Number of linear tetrahedral nodes: 1,677,741
    • Number of quadratic tetrahedral nodes: 11,794,506
    • DOF: 35,383,518

• The following figures show the obtained mesh. ADVENTURECluster TetMesh has the automatic nodal point density control function, but the density control of the mesh here is given by manually in order to obtain better quality of the mesh for the large model like this.
