Refinements

Setup tree: Mesh > Refinements

  • Control: value (ValueField)
  • Default: 3
  • Bound to: CaseState.surfaceLevelMin
  • Writes: castellatedMeshControls/refinementSurfaces/body/level

Every cell touching the surface reaches this level.

  • Control: value (ValueField)
  • Default: 4
  • Bound to: CaseState.surfaceLevelMax

Reached where the surface curves more sharply than the feature angle.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Control: action (ToolButton2)

repeated once for every entry in CaseState.refinementRegions

  • Control: choice (ComboRow)
  • Default: box
  • Options: box, sphere
  • Control: choice (ComboRow)
  • Default: inside
  • Options: inside, outside, distance
  • Writes: refinementRegions/…/mode
  • Control: value (ValueField)
  • Default: 2
  • Control: value (ValueField)
  • Unit: L
  • Default: 1.0
  • Shown when: regionCard.region.mode === "distance"
  • Control: value (ValueField)

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.
