Refinements
Where it is
Section titled “Where it is”Setup tree: Mesh > Refinements
Controls
Section titled “Controls”Surface refinement
Section titled “Surface refinement”Level min
Section titled “Level min”- Control: value (
ValueField) - Default:
3 - Bound to:
CaseState.surfaceLevelMin - Writes:
castellatedMeshControls/refinementSurfaces/body/level
Every cell touching the surface reaches this level.
Level max
Section titled “Level max”- Control: value (
ValueField) - Default:
4 - Bound to:
CaseState.surfaceLevelMax
Reached where the surface curves more sharply than the feature angle.
Cells between
Section titled “Cells between”- Control: value (
ValueField) - Default:
3 - Bound to:
CaseState.nCellsBetweenLevels - Writes:
castellatedMeshControls/nCellsBetweenLevels
Buffer cells between refinement levels. Higher is smoother and produces better quality, at more cells.
Max cells
Section titled “Max cells”- Control: value (
ValueField) - Default:
2000000 - Bound to:
CaseState.maxGlobalCells - Writes:
castellatedMeshControls/maxGlobalCells
Hard budget. Refinement stops when it is reached, so the mesh may not achieve the levels above.
Refinement regions
Section titled “Refinement regions”+ Add refinement region
Section titled “+ Add refinement region”- Control: action (
ToolButton2)
Conditional and repeated groups
Section titled “Conditional and repeated groups”Per item in CaseState.refinementRegions
Section titled “Per item in CaseState.refinementRegions”repeated once for every entry in CaseState.refinementRegions

Problems reported against this step
Section titled “Problems reported against this step”The application reports no problems against this step.
… marks a value the application computes at run time, so the source carries no fixed text for it.
