As structural engineers, whenever we need to analyze a complex structure, we turn to FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis for a quick solution with acceptable accuracy. The generalized beam element model is quite sufficient in most cases; however, there are a few instances in which we may need to go for detailed 3D finite element analysis. Few such cases are joint analysis, buckling analysis, material non-linear analysis, and so on. But hey, meshing even matters in simple linear analysis! Let’s have a look at the basic guidelines for meshing and the process of mesh convergence.
