TAU 2D Mesh Generation
The Maxwell TAU (Triangular Adaptive Uniform) 2D mesher provides a fully automated initial mesh generation method that creates a uniform, high quality, solver-driven mesh. It is designed for solvers without adaptive passes, or demanding high quality mesh. Several meshing methods are used by the TAU 2D mesher, such as skin depth layer mesh, clone mesh, rotational sweep mesh, and remeshing.
To benefit from these meshing technologies for Maxwell 2D designs, ensure that TAU is selected as the Mesh Method on the Initial Mesh Settings dialog General tab by right-clicking the Mesh icon in the Project Manager and selecting Mesh > Initial Mesh Setting, or by selecting Maxwell > Mesh > Initial Mesh Settings.... Note that TAU mesh is the default setting for new 2D designs.
When TAU 2D mesh is selected, its meshing methods are applied to specific local regions. The local regional meshes are then assembled as the final step for the simulation.
The following sections describe TAU 2D mesh generation methods for rotational models, for non-rotational models; and the Skin Depth Layer Mesh Generation method, which can be applied to any model.
