The SPH meshing tools in HyperMesh support three meshing methods for SPH element generation:
|
Arranges the SPH particles into groups of 8, with each particle being a corner of a cube. |
||
|
Arranges the SPH particles into groups of 14, forming the corners and the center of each face of a cube. This method is similar to a hexagonal close packed (HCP) structure, and is recommended for use in RADIOSS models. |
||
|
Use this method to manually select a node and convert it into a SPH element. This method is specific to HyperMesh, and is only available in the SPH Meshing Tool when the Abaqus (Explicit) user profile is loaded. |
Pitch is defined as the distance between two SPH elements, h, as shown below, for both simple cubic and face centered cubic mesh types.
