Open Mechanical
Generate Default Mesh
First, click on Mesh in the tree outline. Next, (click) Mesh > Generate Mesh as shown below.
Size Mesh
In this section we will size the mesh, such that it has ten uniform elements. In order to size the mesh, first expand Sizing located within the
Details of "Mesh" table. Next, set Element Size to 0.40 m, as shown below.
Now, (click) Mesh > Generate Mesh in order to generate the new mesh. You should obtain the mesh, that is shown in the following image.
