Select Edge(s) Select
Edges (Wire, Edge), which will be
automatically meshed. Seeding Method
Interval Length Specify
the element size. Specify
the number of elements to be created along the selected edges. The
spacing of dividing nodes is linearly controlled along the selected edges
by specifying the lengths of the start and end elements. SLen SLen stands for Start Length. Enter the element size (length) at the start points of the edges. ELen ELen stands for End Length. Enter the element size (length) at the end points of the edges. Div Div stands for Division. Enter the number of divisions along the selected edges. If 0 is entered, the program will use the default value 1. CPara CPara
stands for Concentration Parameter, which defines the range in which Linear
Grading will be applied. 0 represents the start
point, and 1 represents the end point. For example,
if 0.3 is entered, the selected edges are uniformly divided at the spacing
of SLen from the start points to the points of the 0.3 length ratio. Linear
Grading is applied to the remaining parts of the edges. Linear Grading (Ratio) The
spacing of dividing nodes is linearly controlled along the selected edges
by specifying the length ratio of the start and end elements. Ratio Enter the ratio of the element size (length) at the start points of the edges to the size at the end points. Div Enter the number of divisions along the selected edges. CPara CPara
stands for Concentration Parameter, which defines the range in which Linear
Grading will be applied. 0 represents the start
point, and 1 represents the end point. For example,
if 0.3 is entered, the selected edges are uniformly divided at the spacing
computed from Div and Ratio from the start points to the points of the
0.3 length ratio. Linear Grading is applied to
the remaining parts of the edges. Symmetric Seeding Symmetric
Seeding is applicable for Linear Grading. It applies
Linear Grading Seeding from the start points to the midpoints of the selected
edges. Symmetrical Seeding is applied to the remaining
half parts about the midpoints. Manual Division Once
the seeding of edges is displayed, edges can be selected and the mesh
division can be manually changed by the use of the mouse wheel.
