Since last week Monday, I have been busy with Triangulation of meshes in Lattice model. Thanks to help from Branko & Mladena, I have come long way. Trick is, you need to calibrate your mesh element radius to have a representable mesh (I know it sounds geek and boring- that's life of PhD). That requires running an Uni axial tensile test on your mesh and check whether calculated E modulus is same as your initial assumption. As all programming goes, have been struggling to pass 1st simulation step (so the solver writes the output file). Finally, after miserable frustrating days, program passed the first step and gave results.
Now I need to calibrate 10 more meshes with various randomness.
A day in life of a PhD
