Mesh Enhancements



You can save the mesh settings of a study without creating a mesh. You can also preview a surface mesh before creating a solid mesh.

The meshing options are available from the Solid Mesh - Tetrahedral, Solid Mesh - Hexahedral, and Shell Mesh PropertyManagers.
Option Description
Save settings without meshing You can save the mesh settings of a model (mesh size, refinement method, and advanced mesh control) without creating the mesh. When you run a study, the mesh settings are applied automatically to generate the mesh. In a study's PlasticsManager tree, the icon next to Solid Mesh or Shell Mesh indicates that you saved the mesh settings for the model.
Show preview You can preview a surface mesh before creating a solid mesh to check the mesh validity for a model.
