[ANSYS Meshing] How to make a radial Mesh?

marlon · August 12, 2015, 15:00

Dear all,

I have a Gausian Heat Source on a flat surface. I'd like to create a "spherical" mesh profile centered where this heat source touches the surface. Therefore, the mesh should be very refined next this point and less refined far from this point.

I did a quick image trying to represent how this part of the mesh should look like:

I tried to use "sweep", but I didn't get success.

I am a new Ansys user.

Thanks

May be you can use "Sphere of Influence" at that point and give element size what you want.
