Assigning material parameter to a group of elements without using geometric boundaryhttps://communities.bentley.com/products/geotech-analysis/f/forum/222224/assigning-material-parameter-to-a-group-of-elements-without-using-geometric-boundaryHi Everyone, Does anyone know a way to group some elements (without using geometric boundary) and assign a parameter to it? The goal is to just assign the parameter if the elements located inside a set of coordinates while keeping the uniformityen-USTelligent Community 12RE: Assigning material parameter to a group of elements without using geometric boundaryhttps://communities.bentley.com/thread/683267?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 19 Nov 2021 14:10:07 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:68b135fd-c289-4ce2-9e70-9af4aac2e810Dennis Waterman<p>Dear James,</p> <p>All elements within a bounded area have the same material set. Hence, it&#39;s not possible to assign materials to single elements that are only part of a bounded area.<br />Any mesh quality concerns for instance near sharp edges can generally be overcome by locally refining the mesh, so this shouldn&#39;t be a problem.<br /><br /></p> <p>With kind regards,<br /><br />Dennis Waterman</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
