This example problem uses rezoning in a 3D large-deformation problem. In large-deformation analyses (such as rolling, forging, and extrusion), elements are subject to excessive deformation, which can eventually cause the analysis to terminate.
The following features and capabilities are highlighted:
Rezoning in 3D problems
Use of contact technology in complex problems
User-defined symmetric expansion options
The following topics are available:
For more information about rezoning and the methods for repairing or replacing a distorted mesh, see Rezoning in the Nonlinear Adaptivity Analysis Guide.
