No Elementary Entities

  1. Johnson Ugochukwu Ezenwankwo

    I just saw your video. But why is the "Elementary entities" not enabled on mine? I'm using the cloud version

      I was following these two videos and as you said, I couldn't see the Elementary Entities option. Are there any alternatives methods to perform the macro-mechanical analysis?

      Prof. Xin Liu answered you in another place.

      The "Elementary entities" was disabled to avoid potential issues for SG generation. For the cloud version, it is mainly used for a demonstration purpose and you can use "Common SG" for a variety of SGs. If you want to perform beam analysis, you can directly edit gmsh input file via "Edit file". 

      Basically these functions are purposely disabled to avoid confusion.

      Thank you so much for your insightful help.

       

      Please what does the "1.0" represent for points 1 and 2?

        You can consider "1.0" is a mesh size. Basically, a small value gives you a dense mesh.
