Generating Mesh without Solving

If you want to refine the mesh on a face or volume but do not want to generate a solution, define mesh operations. Then do one of the following:

• Select [HFSS 3D Layout] > Analysis Setup > Generate Mesh.
• Right-click the Analysis or Setup icon in the Project window and select Generate Mesh.

The same solve machine rules that apply to solving any other setup also apply here.

• If a current mesh has been generated, the solver will refine it using defined mesh operations.
• If a current mesh has not been generated, the solver will apply the mesh operations to the initial mesh.
• If an initial mesh has not been generated, the solver will generate it and apply the mesh operations to the initial mesh.

Applying mesh operations without solving enables you to experiment with mesh refinement in specific problem regions without losing design solutions. You cannot undo the applied mesh operations, but you can discard them by closing the project without saving them or by reverting to the initial mesh.
