Use
same element size |
Instructs the mesher to uniformly
mesh selected components with the element size specified in the
Element Size box. This
option is available only when defining mesh controls for components.
|
|
Number
of elements |
Available for beams only. Sets the
total number of elements for the selected beams. |
 |
Units
|
Specifies units for element
size. |
 |
Element
Size |
Sets the element size for the
selected geometric entities. This is the maximum
element size for the curvature-based meshers.
- When you select the Blended-curvature-based mesher, you can define a
local element size that is larger than the global
maximum element size to create a coarser mesh.
- When you select the Curvature-based
mesher, you can define a local element size within the
range of the global minimum to the global maximum
element sizes.

 |
Min
Element Size |
Minimum element size is
available for the Blended curvature-based mesh only. Sets the
minimum element size for the selected entities.
You can define a local minimum element size
that is smaller than the global minimum element size to refine
the mesh further.

 |
Min
number of elements in a circle |
This option is available for the Blended
curvature-based mesh only. Specifies the number
of elements in a circle. To observe the effects of this option,
the computed element size must be between the Maximum element size and
Minimum element
size. See How Element Size Is
Determined.
|
 |
Ratio
|
Sets the ratio of the element size in one layer to the
element size in the preceding layer. The Blended
curvature-based mesher does not support the
Ratio option.
