Meshing Recommendations for a Layout Component

The Phi mesher is recommended for imported layouts. It is optimized for speed by generating the mesh in a layered structure. When a layout component marked as Mesh Fusion is meshed using Phi mesher, it usually has this layered structure on its four sides. The simulation currently cannot handle the case where another mesh fusion component is in contact with such a layout component on its sides.

If the Maxwell design has layout components meshed in native (not marked as mesh fusion), its Initial Mesh Setting window is modified. The window will disable the Auto and TAU mesh method and add an additional mesh method called Phi Plus.

The options related to TAU in the advanced setting page are disabled.
