When you have a Starter license, Diamonds will check the number of mesh nodes when you start the elastic analysis ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/buildsoftsupport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/KnopRekenmachine.png\")
. If your model has 2500 mesh nodes (or lower), the model will calculate. If your model has more than 2500 mesh nodes you’ll get a warning. So while defining the geometry and the loads, no notification or warning is given when passing the maximum number of mesh nodes.<\/p>\n
What you can do with 2500 mesh nodes highly depends on the choosen mesh size. Below are some example structures with 2400-2500 mesh nodes and an acceptable mesh (not too fine and not too course).<\/p>\n
For bar structures, 2500 mesh nodes corresponds to approximately 300 bars.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
For plate structure, there is no equivalent in number of plates. It depends on the size of the plates and the choosen mesh.<\/p>\n
