Topology Surface Different Mesh


Description

The aim of this tutorial is to show the different ways to create 2D surface mesh topologies. In this tutorial, three soft tissues are represented, implying:
Key points

There are three possible ways to build a 2D surface mesh using the following components. These components are extensions of the ones explained in the Tutorial Topology Linear Different Mesh.
Results

Thus, when simulated, the three models will fall due to gravity. A different behavior can be noticed for the regular grid near the fix points due to the different topology elements used (triangles versus quads).
Note that it is possible to add triangle behavior for the regular grid, using a topological mapping. See TutorialTopologyQuad2TriangleTopologicalMapping.
