Local Mesh Parameters

After reviewing an initial mesh (see Checking the Mesh and Mesh Quality and Type), if the mesh does not satisfy the requirements, assign mesh operations and define local mesh parameters to refine the mesh locally and improve the mesh quality.

• If the element count on the face of an object is low, use the X, Y, or Z count to change it.

• Use height and ratio to refine the mesh around objects.

• Refine the mesh around objects where the temperature and velocity gradients are expected to be high (for example, heated blocks and plates, objects blocking or diverting the flow, and fans).

Local mesh parameters can be assigned to the following types of objects:

• Geometry
• Heat sinks
