VABS fails to run `mesh_stn16.vabs` #12

Closed perryjohnson closed 10 years ago

Error: You have repeated nodes for element 534

I think this error pops up because I created this mesh more or less by hand. To fix it, I should write create_stn16_mesh.py to cut up the cross-section with bounding polygons, write mesh_stn16_start.tg, edit it manually to fix grids inside the bounding curves and save it as mesh_stn16_finish.tg, run it with TrueGrid to write mesh_stn16.abq, and run layer_plane_angles_stn16.py to write mesh_stn16.vabs, and try running VABS on that file to see if it works better.

I think I fixed this a while ago, because I have mass and stiffness matrices for station 16.
