I have modelled a roof of a guard room comprising of folded plates having irregular geometry. For meshing I used Automesh option & further sub-divided it in 12inch size mesh. But, after viewing the results it was evident that the mesh in different panel was not properly connected. Does that effect the results after analyzing? Also how should I assign strips for getting the design of the folded plate from etabs? Please, share a model having folded plates in it & what is the proper way to mesh such elements? The model is attached herewith for your kind perusal. Please fix the model & share it with me. G.R.EDB Guard.Room.EDB
