Current Practice in Adaptive EFG
CPU time
FEM: Meshfree = 1: 2~3
Global refinement behaves more robust than local
refinement
Adaptivity can be controlled by fixed frequency or
interactively activated by distortion triggers.
Mass scaling is allowable.
Element erosion is allowed and surface reconstructed for
metal cutting.

Hybrid Element Coupling SPH with Solid
Hybrid element: Solid elements constrain SPH nodal locations. SPH elements provide
"penalty force” against solid nodal motion. Hybrid elements are used as transit layers
between SPH elements and solid elements. (shared part ID)
Advantage: We have the SPH formulation which can endure quite large deformation and at
the same time we have the solid mesh which clearly describes the material interface.
