FE Surface Meshing


 

The FE surface meshing option provides options which control the mesh used in the Finite Element Analysis module. The FE mesh has an impact on the accuracy of the results returned from an FE analysis.

The meshing options can apply globally to all FE surfaces in any model. Other meshing options apply to particular FE surfaces, or particular points within specific FE surfaces.

If changes are made to the model geometry, the mesh needs to be regenerated. The Analysis>FE Surface Meshing>Regenerate FE Mesh allows the mesh to be regenerated at any time.

For details of the FE meshing, refer to the Finite Element Analysis chapter of the manual.
