ANSYS 12 - LaminatePlate - Mesh

3. Mesh

Launch Mechanical

In order to start Mechanical (Double Click) model. After Mechanical opens, click on the Z vector in the triad to properly orient the plate.

Mapped Face Meshing

For the laminated plate problem a grid mesh will be used such that the areas of the elements are all equivalent. In order to create a mapped face mesh (Right Click) Mesh > Insert > Mapped Face Meshing. Next, apply the surface of the plate as the geometry for the mapped face meshing.
