Curve Division

Many mesh generation schemes in VisualFEA are based on curves, which may be boundary curves or control curves within or at the boundary of the mesh region. These curves should be divided before being used in mesh generation. The mesh density is determined primarily by the density of the division. Dividing a curve is, in fact, the same as assigning nodes on the curve with specified intervals. In case of frame structure analysis, the curve segments between adjacent nodes are used as members (elements). But, for other cases, these segments are used only for boundary edges of surface mesh.
