In order to create a 3D Mesh in GMS you must have a set of 3D Mesh nodes. Elements can be created by using one of the create element tools and then selecting the mesh nodes to create elements. A 3D Mesh can also be created by tesselating the mesh nodes. The tesselation algorithm assumes that each of the vertices being tesselated is unique in xyz, i.e. no two points have the same xyz location. Duplicate points can be removed by selecting Find Duplicates command from the Mesh menu.
3D Meshes can be created 2 different ways in GMS: converting a different GMS data type to a 3D Mesh and using an automatic meshing technique.
Converting GMS data to a 3D Mesh
3D Grids and 3D Scatter Points can be converted to a 3D Mesh. This is accomplished by using the following commands:
3D mesh nodes can be moved, locked, deleted, or renumbered.
3D mesh elements can be created or refined.
