• In this work we propose a field transfer operator for remeshing carried out in the course of incremental analysis of a non linear inelastic behavior. The proposed procedure is geared towards the ultimate load computation of a complex structure, where we choose the appropriate mesh grading for each different phase of computations, starting with a coarse mesh for the initial linear response and going towards a more refined mesh for highly nonlinear inelastic response. The proposed projection operator is developed on the basis of diffuse approximation method. The key feature of such an operator is to guarantee the conservation of relevant mechanics quantities which ensures a superior performance of the proposed field transfer with respect to the standard remeshing procedure. We present the illustrative results both for an isotropic damage model and standard plasticity model, indicating very satisfying performance.
