Before you begin, generate a mesh on the source
geometry using any of the HyperMesh meshing algorithms, for
example 2D mesh with BL.
-
From the menu bar, click .
The Periodic Mesh dialog opens.
-
Select surfaces.
-
Use the Source: Surfaces selector to select source geometry.
-
Use the Target: Surfaces selector to select target geometry.
-
Use the Symmetry options to describe the mesh transformation between source and
target geometry.
Note: The Translation and Rotation options can be used simultaneously for one
transformation.
- To define the translation vector, select the
Translation checkbox.
- To define the rotation by an arc, defined by three nodes, or by an axis
and a rotation angle, select the Rotation
checkbox.
-
Check mesh and geometry.
- To whether source and target geometry are rotational and/or
translational symmetric or not, click Check/Modify
Geometry.
- To check for source and target mesh to determine if symmetry exists,
click Check Mesh.
-
Click Map Mesh.
The mesh from the source geometryis mapped onto the target geometry.
After a successful mapping step, information about the transformation is plotted in
the log region of the dialog.
