Hello and welcome in this particular lecture, this is very interesting lecture here, we will discuss

00:08.100 --> 00:09.960
in depth about meshing.

00:10.320 --> 00:18.650
So a lot of you have asked me why is that important and why in simulation software they use it.

00:18.750 --> 00:24.810
So if you Google and search, it will say that the final dimension, the smaller domain, it will have

00:24.960 --> 00:27.540
and it will have a better solution and so on.

00:27.810 --> 00:30.180
But what does that actually mean?

00:30.390 --> 00:33.540
Let me explain you with a simple example.

00:33.990 --> 00:36.630
Suppose I have a structure.

00:36.750 --> 00:40.550
Let's say I have, uh, cone, OK?

00:41.070 --> 00:42.540
I have some kind of a cone.

00:44.330 --> 00:52.550
And I define this site as tenfold and this as ground.

00:55.340 --> 00:58.140
So basically, this is the zero fault.

00:58.340 --> 01:06.210
OK, so if I zoom in this model, uh, so the cross section will look something like this, right?

01:06.230 --> 01:08.150
It will something be like a triangle.

01:08.840 --> 01:16.220
Now, what they do is that it will divide this region into smaller domains.

01:16.520 --> 01:16.910
Right.

01:16.940 --> 01:18.790
This is what dance does.

01:19.460 --> 01:23.900
And in each smaller domain, it will try to solve.

01:24.960 --> 01:30.980
The solution, so it will take this domain and solve for the solution here and then it will solve here,

01:30.990 --> 01:37.620
it will solve here and so on, and ultimately it will compute the total model.

01:37.920 --> 01:38.200
Right.

01:38.600 --> 01:42.300
But what happens when you take a courser mess?

01:42.780 --> 01:45.170
Suppose Umesh is not fine.

01:45.180 --> 01:48.120
So you have like this.

01:48.690 --> 01:51.090
Maybe it's very coarse.

01:51.120 --> 01:55.650
OK, so what the software will see is that here is one boundary.

01:55.980 --> 01:57.240
Here is another boundary.

01:57.510 --> 01:59.540
Here is one boundary and here is one boundary.

01:59.910 --> 02:02.640
So it will try to solve the solution in this region.

02:03.360 --> 02:06.910
Now take the region, which is present here.

02:07.380 --> 02:09.090
Here you have a sharp edge.

02:10.820 --> 02:17.510
Right, so if you have a coach mess, the software will not be able to differentiate how sharp is the

02:17.510 --> 02:19.470
corner because it is not meshing right.

02:19.790 --> 02:22.530
It is considering the whole region as a single domain.

02:22.940 --> 02:24.110
Do you understand my point?

02:24.500 --> 02:27.150
So hence a finer mesh is needed.

02:27.490 --> 02:30.650
Now, let me explain what will happen when you have a finer mesh.

02:32.150 --> 02:41.060
Let us think that, oh, let me remove this and let's imagine that I zoom in to this stop Dizon.

02:41.120 --> 02:46.580
OK, so the zoomed out version of the tape will look something like this.

02:47.660 --> 02:56.840
Now, if I have a finer mesh, it will have a very fine small domain throughout the geometry and each

02:56.840 --> 03:01.820
domain will be treated like a small area where the equations are right.

03:02.480 --> 03:08.140
So here you can see there, since the smaller boxes are small.

03:08.990 --> 03:17.870
So the solution will be much better because if you see that, suppose you have an image, right?

03:18.710 --> 03:27.710
Let's say you have an image which is one megapixel and you have an image which is 10 megapixel.

03:28.070 --> 03:36.500
So that 10 megapixel image will have a greater resolution than a one megapixel way because the 10 million

03:36.500 --> 03:43.680
pixel image has greater number of dots which contain the information of this image that is similar to

03:43.680 --> 03:46.320
the case in terms of mesh also.

03:46.970 --> 03:48.720
I guess that you get the point.

03:48.950 --> 03:53.560
Now, let me demonstrative a beautiful example which I created myself.

03:54.170 --> 03:59.550
Honestly, I did not get any motivation online through any cause or something.

03:59.810 --> 04:01.310
This idea totally from my own.

04:01.310 --> 04:05.480
Just to explain you all what machine actually does.

04:06.840 --> 04:12.460
So this is a simple model which I made just to show you as an example.

04:12.720 --> 04:16.000
So what I have is this is a sheet of material.

04:16.020 --> 04:18.540
OK, this is a single material.

04:19.410 --> 04:29.880
And it has some connectivity, fine, and this region I have grounded, so this great region is at zero

04:30.120 --> 04:30.520
fault.

04:33.720 --> 04:37.620
This region is at 10 world.

04:39.320 --> 04:45.220
So definitely the current will flow from lower region to the site, right?

04:46.470 --> 04:50.770
And after the simulation, I I'm trying to plot the electric field.

04:51.120 --> 04:52.860
This is my idea.

04:53.250 --> 04:57.180
OK, so the connectivity I took is zero point.

05:00.190 --> 05:07.460
Sorry, zero point one sigma per meter, so this is the connectivity I took for this measure.

05:07.750 --> 05:09.010
So that is not important here.

05:09.200 --> 05:11.120
Oh, the concept is important.

05:11.650 --> 05:14.140
So what is the result we are getting from this?

05:15.400 --> 05:16.130
Let me show you.

05:16.540 --> 05:26.290
So after I have solved the simulation, this is the plot for the electric field in voltage per meter.

05:26.890 --> 05:34.810
So the red region represent the higher electric field and the blue region represent the lower electric

05:34.810 --> 05:35.060
field.

05:35.110 --> 05:39.500
OK, so as you go towards the red reddish region, then it really is high.

05:40.180 --> 05:43.090
So can you spot the problem here?

05:43.630 --> 05:50.440
As you can see, if I show you back and forth from the mesh and the solution, I think you can figure

05:50.440 --> 05:50.830
it out.

05:51.100 --> 05:55.360
If you see here, here I have a box, right?

05:55.850 --> 05:56.770
A single domain.

05:57.460 --> 06:00.490
Now, if you see here, can this party boxier.

06:01.660 --> 06:04.540
So this is the problem, of course.

06:05.270 --> 06:06.200
OK, forget that.

06:06.790 --> 06:08.410
Take this recent.

06:09.400 --> 06:09.810
Right.

06:11.310 --> 06:13.470
Here you can see here's the problem.

06:14.220 --> 06:23.220
So this is one of the reason why you need to use finer mesh, also know that you might think, OK,

06:23.520 --> 06:27.850
this is fine, but we can smooth the result and we can improve it.

06:27.870 --> 06:35.100
So even if you smooth, uh, the plot, there are options in council where you can smooth your result.

06:35.280 --> 06:39.000
So these kind of rough region will be smoothed out.

06:39.480 --> 06:40.430
So after smooth.

06:40.710 --> 06:46.440
Then also the result is not correct because you see there are a lot of sharp regions.

06:47.690 --> 06:51.810
But the electric field is not at all accumulating anywhere.

06:52.230 --> 06:58.760
Also, the electric field is somewhat exploding and this region, which is not correct, right.

06:59.060 --> 07:06.110
Because we know for material electric field gets concentrated near sharp edges whenever current is run

07:06.110 --> 07:06.480
through it.

07:06.920 --> 07:15.540
So there is a lot of inconsistencies, even if you try to, uh, smooth out your solution for your work.

07:16.820 --> 07:18.080
So what can we do?

07:18.350 --> 07:26.260
OK, so here what I've done is I've improved upon our old mesh to this mesh.

07:26.270 --> 07:27.770
So there is a slight improvement.

07:27.770 --> 07:34.130
As you can see, the mesh is quite good after simulating agritourism something like this.

07:34.460 --> 07:37.330
As you can see, it has improved a lot.

07:37.340 --> 07:38.720
If I show you the previous result.

07:38.720 --> 07:44.720
You see, this is the previous result and here's the final result of this mesh.

07:46.360 --> 07:53.860
So still, there are a lot of inconsistencies here because the mesh is not totally smooth, so there

07:53.860 --> 07:59.800
are few regions where the result is not that great, but overall, the result is quite good.

08:00.220 --> 08:04.650
Now here I have a proper machine by proper machine.

08:04.660 --> 08:08.260
I mean, I have a good amount of meshing in the corners.

08:08.560 --> 08:12.550
So you can see in the corners I have a good amount of meshing.

08:13.630 --> 08:16.970
So let's see how the result looks in this case.

08:17.380 --> 08:20.820
So this is the result with proper meshing.

08:20.860 --> 08:27.720
As you can see, the plot looks such a smooth and beautiful and it is consistent also.

08:28.000 --> 08:35.560
So the current is flowing through the lower half to the top and you can see that the court is accommodating

08:35.560 --> 08:38.350
exactly at the corner, which is expected.

08:38.630 --> 08:39.030
Right.

08:39.280 --> 08:46.780
So here the radius of curvature is very small, hence up the electric field is accumulating in this

08:46.780 --> 08:47.240
corner.

08:47.560 --> 08:55.000
So this was a very small example where I wanted to show you the concept of meshing.

08:55.720 --> 09:00.430
And I hope that you liked and learned something from this lecture.

09:01.450 --> 09:02.650
I have a small request.

09:02.650 --> 09:04.390
Please do read my course.

09:04.390 --> 09:08.950
It really helps me to keep my motivation and make more courses.

09:09.110 --> 09:12.070
So thank you for watching and take care.
