[ANSYS Meshing] Reduce mesh elements and nodes

daylen · July 30, 2022, 13:24

Hi, i have ansys student version and i want to simulate compression strength of cardboard pieces (link), im using explicit dynamics (or should i use transient structural?), when i use element size 0,001 [m] meshing works, but element and node count exceed 128k limit (~189k), how i reduce elements and nodes without having the mesh failing?

so i used a shell mesh, this solved the problem
