Meshing Parameters
Surface and volume meshing controls
Maximum Generated Elements: limits the total
number of volume elements that FRANC3D will
create during volume meshing
Maximum Volume Mesh Restarts: limits the
number of volume meshing restarts
FRANC3D uses an advancing front volume
meshing algorithm
FRANC3D generated volume elements
smoothed to improve element quality; ANSYS
and ABAQUS generated meshes imported as
created
Surface mesh refinement
Do Coarsen Crack Mouth Mesh - produces a less
refined mesh on the crack surface
Do Local Surface Refinement - refines any
surface mesh near the crack
