Axis aligned mesh splitting #11032

Open friedmud opened 6 years ago

friedmud commented 6 years ago

Rationale

In the case where you have an axis aligned mesh (for instance: using GeneratedMesh)... we should be able to split elements in an axis direction easily (i.e. isotropically refine).

Description

Implement a MeshModifier that does this

Impact

Generally useful

Do you mean anisotropically refine? The way I'm picturing this, you are talking about only adding extra elements in one direction.

Yep - basically. But for the case of axis-aligned mesh it shouldn't be hard to do. The refined elements won't actually be children of the original parent elements. Just delete the original element and lay down two elements in the desired direction.
