Smoothing Algorithms
Supported smoothing algorithms.
- Autodecide
- By default, the perimeter of the region is traversed looking for variations in element edge length and choose between size-correcting and shape-correcting smoothing algorithms.
- Size Corrected
- Evens out the sizes of the elements at the cost of some element quality, usually in the form of worsened aspect ratios from the stretching of elements. A modified Laplacian over-relaxation that can correctly handle mixtures of quads and trias is used. If the element spacing around the perimeter is roughly uniform, this choice usually gives the best results.
- Shape Corrected
- Corrects the elements’ shapes, allowing variation in element size. HyperMesh uses a modified isoparametric-centroidal over-relaxation that can correctly handle mixtures of quads and trias. If there is a transition from small elements to large elements in the region, this choice usually gives the best results.
