Mesh Refinements
The FE mesh is generated with the global mesh size resulting from the level of detail (see the Chapter 'General') and the mesh density in due consideration of possible boundary layers (see the Chapter 'General'). For specific areas of the model, however, you can influence the mesh generation by defining FE mesh refinements.
You can create a mesh refinement by means of the Insert menu or the Mesh Refinements shortcut menu of the navigator. The Mesh Refinement dialog box is opened.
If required, enter a Comment that makes it easier to identify the refinement. In the Mesh Density section, you can define the target length of the mesh cells so that the refinement is adequate to the critical area. Then specify the position and size of the box-shaped refinement area in the Location and Dimensions section. You can also use the [Adjust Graphically] option to define the refinement in the work window. The functions of the graphical manipulator correspond to those used to adjust the wind tunnel (see the Chapter 'Wind Tunnel').
