[ANSYS Meshing] 'Element quality' meshing criterion

RobBanks · May 2, 2018, 00:03

Hello.

I wanted to know what's the exact criterion that the 'Element quality' tool uses to measure this quality.

There's broad information on what's the aspect ratio, skewness, orthogonal quality criteria (i.e. how are these criterion calculated) but there seems to be no information on how this 'Element quality' criterion is calculated.

Could anybody, please, explain this?

Thank you!

Just a quick google search brings this.

Also if you have access to the ANSYS Customer Portal you can find additional information about mesh training.
