You can control the behavior of functions in Meshing through the Options dialog box. To access Meshing options:
From the main menu, choose Tools> Options. An Options dialog box appears and the options are displayed on the left.
Click on a specific option.
Change any of the option settings by clicking directly in the option field on the right. You will first see a visual indication for the kind of interaction required in the field (examples are drop-down menus, secondary dialog boxes, direct text entries).
Click OK.
The following Meshing options appear in the Options dialog box:
| Meshing |
| CFX-Mesh Options |
Other help descriptions available that describe the Options dialog box:
Relevance: Allows setting of the default mesher, known as relevance. The Details View default is 0, but can be changed here. The range is from -100 to +100.
Unmeshable Areas: Highlights the problematic areas encountered when meshing. There is no counterpart setting in the Details View. The choices are:
Show First Failed (default)
Show All Failed
This only affects Patch Conforming methods.
Number of Retries: Number of times the mesher will try to remesh. The default is 4. There is no counterpart setting in the Details View. The range is from 0 to 4.
The mesher will increase the fineness of the mesh with each retry in an effort to obtain a good mesh. It is possible that the mesh will contain more elements than you intended. If this is not acceptable, you should lower the number of retries.
Default Physics Preference: Sets the default option for the Physics Preference in the Details View of a Mesh object.
Default Method: Sets the default Method setting in the Details View of a Method control object. When the geometry is attached, the default method of all options except Automatic will be scoped to all parts in the assembly. The Automatic option has no effect.
If CFX-Mesh is the default Method control and you are using the Meshing module, the CFX-Mesh interface will open automatically after attaching geometry.
Merge Edges Bounding Manually Created Faces: Sets the default value for the Merge Face Edges? setting in the Details View of a Virtual Topology object. Choices are Yes and No. The default value is Yes.
Refer to the CFX-Mesh Options section in the CFX-Mesh Help for details.
