After you mesh an assembly or a multibody part, you can refine the mesh for selected bodies or bodies that failed to mesh.
To remesh only selected bodies:
- Mesh all parts using the default mesh settings.
- In the Simulation study tree, under Parts, right-click the parts to remesh (or the parts that have previously failed to mesh), and select Remesh.
The Remesh command is not available for beams.
- In the Mesh Control PropertyManager, set the new element size and select Create Mesh.
Only the selected parts are remeshed. A mesh control feature appears under in the study tree.
When you remesh selected components, the program applies mesh controls using the curvature-based mesher. Subsequent meshing operations use the curvature-based mesher by default. The remeshed bodies share an incompatible mesh with the neighboring parts.
If a mesh control definition is already defined for a selected entity, the program applies the smallest mesh control size.
You can mesh bodies individually without meshing the entire assembly. Right-click the body, and select Create Mesh. The program changes the global mesh option to the curvature-based mesher. If you mesh some (but not all) bodies of an assembly before you run the study, only the bodies without mesh will be meshed.
