I am working on an industrial wire mesh which could essentially function as a cover against flies and I would like to run modal analysis on this mesh which is welded to the frame (Just like a window frame).
How do I mesh a 0.5mm diameter wire which together becomes an industrial mesh? Is there an alternate which could represent the wires in the FEA?
Example of the wire mesh which is attached to a frame is as shown in the image.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Hi Krishna,
Maybe you can try to model the wires as beam elements. You just need a sketch which has similar pattern as wires. Afterward you can assign the diameter and the material properties to the beam structure. Just dont forget to connect beam elements with 3D elements (frame).
Best Regards...
Fantastic. Thank you both Mr. Oguzhan Yalcin & Mr. Claudio Pedrazzi. I will try your suggestions and get back with how things went.
Hello Krishna Kashyap ,
Using the CAD system for modeling a knotted network and then simulating work and purpose will give information about network behavior. Naturally, it is also necessary to set the matrix from which the frame and the network are made.
Wishing to succeed in the iterative scientific study.
With respect!

Hi,
It is similar to simulations of geogrids in civil engineering. In abaqus you have to define solid/solid part for the frame and solid/shell for the layer. at first define both of them as solid and then assign solid and shell section respectively in create section in property module. After assembling these two parts, in interaction module tie them together as you weld them in reality. It will work...
