Automatically Refine Elements Using Quad Patterns
Use the Refine: Auto Quads tool to refine elements as quads based on a given refinement size. Transition elements may be automatically defined or manually selected.
Before you begin, make sure the initial mesh is a regular mapped quad mesh, and not a free quad mesh.
