A local mesh size can be set on a wire, edge, face or a region to influence the mesh
size.
The steps described below to define a local mesh size are
similar for wires, edges and regions.
-
In the model tree, select the relevant part.
-
In the details tree select the wire, edge, face or region
where you want to apply a local mesh setting.
Tip: Multiple entities can be selected and edited
simultaneously.
-
From the right-click context menu, click
Properties.
-
On the Modify Face dialog, click the
Meshing tab.
-
Select the Preserve entity check box to include entity
in the mesh should it be very small.
-
Select the Local mesh size check box to enable the local
mesh size for the selected item.
-
In the Mesh size field, enter a local mesh size.
-
Click OK to set the local mesh size and to close
the dialog.
-
Remesh the model to view the local mesh refinement.
Tip: Define a local mesh size variable to simplify mesh convergence
studies.
