Geometry-based Mesh Control

Similar to geometry-based boundary conditions, you can assign local mesh controls over faces, edges, and vertices before the creation of the mesh.

In the PlasticsManager tree, right-click Mesh and click Geometry Based Mesh Control. Add mesh controls in key areas of interest such as injection locations, gate regions, thickness transition regions, and curved surfaces. You can view/edit the Mesh control definitions under Mesh.



When you have both solid and shell mesh in a study, the inactive mesh node is unavailable. The inactive mesh node is highlighted in gray.
