the default mesh are 25 x sagitta 4you can find the answer, for example, in the last publication of claudio gianini. It is not a mistake, it is a peculiarity of the method (fem).
mistakes in discretting a tubular element with tetrahedral elements. if you just want to use tet elements make a mesh much less woolly.
I have no idea, I don't use catia, but I know the method. It is clear that the tubular was discrete quite badly.the default mesh are 25 x sagitta 4
if I make 6 x sagitta 1 is even worse
What do I do?
