Create Local Mesh by Defining Size
Use the Local tool to interactively create mesh on select surfaces by defining element size.
Local Tool
An overview of the Local tool.
Use the Local tool to interactively create mesh on select surfaces based on element size.
- Access
- Go to .
Options
- Average size
- Set the average element size for surface meshing.
- Curvature based refinement
- Option to turn on mesh refinement based on geometric curvature.
- Minimum size factor
- The minimum element size, as a factor of the average element size. Value must be less than or equal to 1.
- Geometric feature angle
- The maximum allowable break angle between adjacent elements.
- Growth rate
- The factor to control the rate of transition in case of element size change.
- Mesh element type
- Select the type of elements used to create the mesh.
- Mesh element order
- Defines order of mesh to generate.
- Treatment to connected mesh
- Defines what to do if surfaces adjacent to selection are meshed.
