Property Tab

• [Tolerance]
  When auto-creating the mesh, set the merge tolerance to combine to two or mode nodes into a single node.

• [Seed Control]

  • Curve Sensitivity : Sets the sensitivity of the curve.

  • Use Geometry Proximity : If turned On, the mesh is created using.

  • Use Adaptive Seed : If turned On, the mesh quality can be improved using the Adaptive Seed feature that adaptively adjusts the mesh size.

  • Adaptive Seed Factor : Sets the adaptive seed factor to adaptively adjust the mesh size.

• [Surface Mesh Control]

  • Element Type : Sets the shape of the 2D mesh.

    • Tri+Quad : Creates a mesh using triangular and quadrilateral elements.

    • Triangle : Creates a mesh using only triangular elements.

    • Quadrilateral : Created a mesh using only quadrilateral elements.

  • Optimization Level : Sets the level of optimization to apply when creating the 2D mesh.

  • Size Growth Rate : Sets the size growth rate that is applied to the 2D mesh. The element density can be further set to improve the mesh quality.

  • Try Mapped Mesh : When turned on, a mapped mesh is applied to the 2D mesh.

  • Use Pattern Mesh : When turned on, a consistent pattern is applied to the 2D mesh.

  • Angle Criteria : Sets the angle criteria for the elements in the created 2D mesh.

  • Length Ratio Criteria : Sets the length ratio criteria for the elements in the created 2D mesh.

• Right-click the analysis model in the Works Tree and use the Modify menu to confirm or modify the analysis case.
