A slow theory case: the corpus bracket meshed by mesh.hex.octree at 7, 5 and 4 mm, clamped at the base and loaded by 2 kN. Checks equilibrium, that every element is certified valid, the mesh volume against the CAD volume, the beam bending stress of the upright leg (sigma = M c / I = 145.3 MPa, within 5%) and the convergence of the fillet von Mises stress against the 4 mm mesh.

Filleted L-bracket on the octree all-hex mesh
The corpus part filleted-bracket (an 8 mm thick L, 60 × 50 × 40 mm, an R6 fillet inside the
corner and a Ø8 hole through each leg), built with SolidCraft from design.json and meshed by
mesh.hex.octree (hex8 with incompatible modes, steel E = 210 GPa, ν = 0.3). The bottom face of
the horizontal leg (F2:side:l1) is clamped and the top face of the upright leg (F2:side:l5)
carries 2 kN along +x.
Checked on the 5 mm mesh: equilibrium; the certified validity of every element; the mesh volume against the CAD volume; the bending stress of the upright leg at y = 19 on both faces, σ_yy = M c / I = 2000 · 31 · 4 / 1706.7 = 145.3 MPa (M is exact by statics, the plane-section stress is the reference, the corner and a hole are near). The von Mises stress at the middle of the fillet, which has no closed form, is checked for convergence against the 4 mm mesh:
| mesh size | hexahedra | fillet von Mises (MPa) | σ_yy outer / inner at y = 19 (MPa) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 mm | 4291 | 138.5 | 149.4 / −146.9 |
| 5 mm | 13273 | 144.5 | 149.3 / −147.3 |
| 4 mm (reference) | 21508 | 143.2 | 147.4 / −145.5 |
A 3 mm mesh needs more than the direct solver's factor cap.
