Retrieving a FEM Mesh—Topology Optimization
After you have saved an FEM mesh, you can retrieve it. While retrieving a mesh, the system first checks for an .fmp(a) file saved for a current model in session. If the file exists, the system imports a mesh from it.
There are two ways to retrieve a mesh:
• If you set the fem_mesh_auto_retrieve configuration option in your configuration option file, the system automatically retrieves the saved mesh when you open the model in FEM mode.
• Click Home > Mesh > Open FEM Mesh to retrieve a mesh saved with the default model.fmp(a) name. If you have set the fem_allow_named_mesh_files configuration option in your configuration option file and assigned a different name to your mesh file, then when you click Home > Mesh > Open FEM Mesh a dialog box opens so that you can select a named mesh file to load.
You can retrieve the mesh only if you have not made changes to the geometry.
