Generating the Mesh Without Solving

The mesh is automatically created when you run a solution analysis.

If you want to refine the mesh on a face or volume but do not want to generate a solution at the time, you can apply the mesh operations you have assigned without running the full analysis. 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 it.

To refine the mesh without solving, do one of the following after defining mesh operations:

The same solve machine rules that apply to solving any other setup also apply here. The mesh operation will be sent to the default solve machine, or the Maxwell Server Setup dialog may appear to allow you to interactively specify a solve machine if "Prompt for analysis machine when launching analysis" is selected under Tools > Options > General Options > Analysis Options tab.

Tip: Define a new mesh operation rather than modify an existing mesh operation. Maxwell does not re-apply a modified mesh operation.
Note: Mesh operations at the target design of a mu (permeability) link are ignored.
