The invention belongs to the field of water conservancy and
hydropower engineering, discloses a
finite element grid construction method for free grids of a
regular grid foundation of an
arch dam in complex geology, and aims to realize high-precision regular grids of a dam body and flexible, diversified and quick free grids of a dam foundation so as to improve the reasonability and effectiveness of stress and overall stable calculation of the
arch dam. According to the scheme, firstly, according to
arch dam shape design data, a regular arch dam geometry is established; secondly, a dam foundation geometric block is built in the dam foundation near the foundation building surface, and a dam foundation foundation building surface
thin layer is obtained; secondly, according to a foundation building surface, a dam foundation foundation building surface
thin layer, a
terrain surface, a dam foundation lithologic stratum
boundary line and a fault structural surface, a geometry of the complex foundation is built; and finally, model
mesh generation is carried out on the arch dam geometry, the dam foundation construction
base plane thin layer and the geometry of the complex foundation in sequence, specifically,
hexahedron mapping
mesh generation is carried out on the arch dam geometry, then transition
mesh generation from
hexahedron to
tetrahedron is carried out on the geometry of the dam foundation construction
base plane thin layer, and model mesh generation is carried out on the geometry of the complex foundation. And finally, carrying out free mesh generation on the geometry of the complex foundation.
