MATLAB TUTORIALS FROM CORNELL UNIVERSITY

...

redAnTS TUTORIAL #2 This redAnTS tutorial solves a beam bending problem and in the process shows you how to generate a mesh using the CSG Mesh Tool. It also shows you how to set boundary conditions at a point in redAnTS. You need a license to the PDE Toolbox to run the CSG Mesh Tool. Also, this mesher was developed in MATLAB version 7.0. We haven't had the time to upgrade it to later MATLAB versions. This means that in MATLAB version 7.4 or later, you'll get warnings about obsolete functions while running this mesher. We know it's ugly and not a good practice but you can ignore these warnings for now.// //
