Global Meshing Controls Physics Based Meshing allows the user to specify the metrics used in measuring element quality to be based on the kind of analysis being done. Physics preferences are: Mechanical Electromagnetics CFD Explicit Different analysis types define acceptable or favorable element shapes differently. For this course we limit the discussion to Mechanical. … Global Meshing Controls Relevance is the most basic global size control and is set in the “Defaults” area of the mesh details. Relevance is set between –100 and +100. - Relevance = coarse mesh + Relevance = fine mesh … Global Meshing Controls Sizing Control: These settings assume the “Use Advanced Size Function” is set to “Off”. Relevance Center: sets the mid point of the “Relevance” slider control. Element Size: defines the maximum element size used for the entire model. For most static structural applications the default values for the remaining global controls are usually adequate. Coarse Fine Medium -100 +100 0 -100 +100 0 Relevance Center … Global Meshing Controls Advanced Size Functions provide additional control over the global mesh sizing and are activated in the mesh details. While many of these controls are beyond the scope of an introductory course we’ll explain some of the advanced size controls here. As stated earlier linear static analysis types usually do not share the same meshing demands as more advanced analysis types (e.g. nonlinear, transient thermal, etc.). Three advanced size functions can be employed: proximity, curvature and fixed (proximity and curvature can be combined). … Global Meshing Controls The “Fixed” size function provides minimum and maximum element size controls. “Curvature” as the name implies, is driven by the curvature encountered in the geometry. For models dominated by lots of curved features this control provides a way to refine the mesh over much of the model without using local controls. For models composed
