MARS - A Software Dedicated to Advanced Concrete Modeling

Hi,

From version mars2018.07.08, it is possible to set the following 4 mesh parameters via input: SurfaceMeshResolutionFactor[5.1], SurfaceNodeGapFactor[5.2], SurfaceNodeInternalNodeGapFactor[5.3], and InternalNodeGapFactor[5.4] (para 12.2 of the Mars Manual).

However, I noticed that SurfaceNodeInternalNodeGapFactor[5.3] parameter does not influence the LDPM model generation, both by importing external mesh by GenerateFromFineTetMesh and generating mesh by TetGen. Is it a possible bug?

Furthermore, since both the [5.1] and [5.2] parameters do not influence the LDPM model Generation using fine tet mesh (GenerateFromFineTetMesh command), Could you add it as a comment in the manual?

Best regards,
Michele

The issue is fixed in version 2018.08.05, please find it under Hotfix folder on our server.

Before fix, SurfaceNodeInternalNodeGapFactor is: always 0 for GenerateFromFineTetMesh; the same as SurfaceNodeGapFactor for GeneratePrism; 1.1 for GenerateCylinder.

Thanks for reporting the issue.
