Results are connected to mesh shape, mesh size and mesh distribution and they can vary a lot.

Understanding Mesh Size in Stress Analysis

The size of the mesh can significantly impact the results of a finite element analysis. A smaller mesh size may yield more accurate results, but it also increases computational time and resources required. Conversely, a larger mesh size can lead to quicker results but may disregard critical stress concentrations. Therefore, it is essential to strike a balance based on the project requirements and available resources.

Conflicting Results: What to Consider

When dealing with conflicting results in mesh sizes during analysis, consider the following factors:

• Mesh Quality: The quality of the mesh shapes can heavily influence stress distributions.
• Boundary Conditions: Ensure that the boundary conditions are consistent across different mesh sizes.
• Convergence Criteria: Establishing robust convergence criteria can help in validating the mesh results.
