I'm working on the analysis of a lamination process, where a steel bar passes through a series of cylindrical rollers. Since the bar is subjected to a deep plastic deformation, my desire is to remesh the steel bar at the exit of each roller, by using the same HEX elements and maintaining the physical results that come from the previous phases.
It is important for me to avoid the use of TET elements for external reasons, so as far as I know the global automatic remeshing is not suitable for my case.
Thank you very much for your answer, unfortunately I'm working with the 2011 version. I was also looking at the remeshing method using the "mesh file". Do you know how can I set up the model to include this option? How can I read the external mesh file to remap my model? Do you think it is suitable for my case?
