 <title>How to get the surface mesh of an volume mesh?</title>
 <link>http://www.imechanica.org/node/3452</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Hello everyone,
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I got a question and would like to post it here.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Suppose we have a volume mesh, I am interesting in obtaining surface elements or the surface mesh of this volume mesh.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Does anyone here know a free source tool to do this?
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Or put in another way, is there a mesh generator that can generate a volume mesh exactly based on a user-defined surface mesh?
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I know this can be done in Abaqus by mouse picking the surface of interest.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
However, I am looking for a tool that I can use for free.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Thank you very much for any information.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Rong
&lt;/p&gt;
