Selecting the Trimmer Meshing Model

The first thing we will do is change the previously selected meshing models to use the trimmer and prism mesher models instead.

Right-click on Continua>Mesh 1>Models node and select Select Meshing Models... in the pop-up menu.

The Meshing Model Selection dialog will appear. In the Enabled Meshing models box in the panel, do the following:

Unselect the Prism Layer Mesher model

Unselect the Polyhedral Mesher model

Unselect the Surface Remesher model

Select the Trimmer model from the Volume Mesh box

Select the Prism Layer Mesher from the Optional Meshing models box

The completed panel with selections is shown below:

The surface remesher model was unselected since a good starting surface is now available from the previous session.

Press the Close button to close the panel.

The default properties for the trimmer can be seen by doing the following:

Select the Continua>Mesh 1>Models>Trimmer node.

As can be seen, surface based curvature and proximity refinement options are turned on by default. The Template mesh growth rate is set to Fast, meaning that the transition from fine to coarse cells will be happen as quickly as possible, resulting in the least amount of cells being produced. A hexahedral type template mesh will also be used.
