Guidelines for Seeding the Mesh
While seeding the mesh is not required, it is useful
in the following conditions:
- Seeding the mesh inside a volume in the model
geometry where regions of strong electric or magnetic fields (with strong
capacitive or inductive loading) are expected. Examples include a capacitively
loaded gap in a resonant structure, sharp waveguide angles or corners,
or gaps between multi-coupled lines in filter structures.
- Seeding the mesh on every face of higher aspect
ratio boundaries, such as long PCB traces or on the surfaces of long
wires. Spacing the mesh points roughly equal to the trace width of the
wire diameter enables you to more accurately capture the behavior of
the high-aspect structure from the first adaptive pass.
