ESIZE
ESIZE, SIZE
, NDIV
Specifies the default number of line divisions.
SIZE
Default element edge length on surface boundaries (that is, lines). Divisions are automatically calculated (rounded upward to next integer) from line lengths. If
SIZE
is zero (or blank), useNDIV
.NDIV
Default number of element divisions along region boundary lines. Not used if
SIZE
is input.
Notes
Specifies the default number of line divisions (elements) to be generated along the region boundary lines. The number of divisions may be defined directly or automatically calculated. Divisions defined directly for any line (LESIZE, KESIZE, etc.) are retained. For adjacent regions, the divisions assigned to the common line for one region are also used for the adjacent region. See the MOPT command for additional meshing options.
For free meshing operations, if smart element sizing is being used
(SMRTSIZE) and ESIZE,SIZE
has
been specified, SIZE
will be used as a starting element size, but will
be overridden (that is, a smaller size may be used) to accommodate curvature and small
features.
This command is also valid for rezoning.
