Mesh
quality |
Set to Draft or
High. For linear static
studies, you can assign both Draft and High
quality solid elements in a single mesh definition. A
draft quality mesh does not have midside nodes. Use a draft quality
mesh for a quick evaluation and in solid models where bending
effects are small. Use a high-quality mesh in most cases, especially
for models with curved geometry.
|
Standard
mesher |
Uses the Voronoi-Delaunay meshing scheme for
subsequent meshing operations. |
Curvature based
mesher |
Creates more elements in higher-curvature areas
automatically, without the need for mesh control. Supports
multi-threaded meshing for assembly and multi-body part
documents. |
Jacobian
points |
When Mesh
quality is High,
sets the number of points to be used in checking the distortion level of
high-order tetrahedral elements. For high-order
shells, the Jacobian ratio
check uses 6 points located at the nodes.
|
Automatic
transition |
Automatically applies mesh controls to small
features, details, holes, and fillets.
Clear Automatic
transition before meshing large models with many
small features and details to avoid generating a very large number
of elements unnecessarily.
|
Automatic trials for
solids |
Instructs the mesher to automatically retry meshing
the model using a smaller global element size. You control the maximum
number of trials allowed and the ratio by which the global element size
and tolerance are reduced each time. |
Remesh failed parts with
incompatible mesh |
Using this option can help mesh bonded solids that
fail compatible meshing. If Automatic
looping is on and you have requested bonding solids
using compatible mesh, the software tries incompatible meshing
automatically for solids that fail to mesh with the compatible
option.
