Abstract:

In Finite Element analysis the size of mesh is critical. The size of the mesh is closely related to the accuracy and number of mesh required for the meshing of the element. This paper presents the effect of the mesh size on the accuracy of the result. On the basis of the results obtained guidelines for choosing the appropriate mesh size in finite element analysis has been provided. The static analysis has been performed to know the effect of mesh size and number of mesh using creo 2.0 software. Model under study is cantilever carrying uniformly distributed load made of Fe30 material.

Keywords:

Finite element analysis, Mesh size, Static analysis.
