[ANSYS] Meshing based on Keypoints

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the challenges of meshing a longitudinal weld using the effective notch method in ANSYS. The user aims to create a fine and specific mesh by generating Keypoints for node placement. They intend to use Mesh200 elements for a 3D model with Vext, transitioning to Solid186 elements. However, they are struggling to achieve a mesh that aligns the nodes with the defined Keypoints. This issue highlights the complexities of precise meshing in finite element analysis.

TL;DR Summary
I need to analyze a welded joint and the method requires a very specific type of mesh. I tried to base it on Keypoints but can't manage it.
I'm analyzing a longitudinal weld using the effective notch method to modell it. This means my mesh must be fine and more importantly very specific. To do this, I generated Keypoints where I want the nodes of the finite element mesh to be and this where I was stumped.

I want to mesh it using Mesh200 elements and the make it 3D with Vext and finally turn it into Solid186 elements. My problem is that I can't seem to create a mesh where the defined Keypoint give me the nodes in the mesh.
 

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
