KESIZE
KESIZE, NPT, SIZE, FACT1, FACT2
Specifies the edge lengths of the elements nearest a keypoint.
NPTNumber of the keypoint whose lines will be adjusted. If ALL, use all selected keypoints (KSEL). If
NPT= P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored (valid only in the GUI).SIZESize of elements along lines nearest keypoint
NPT(overrides any other specified size). IfSIZEis zero (or blank), useFACT1orFACT2.FACT1Scale factor applied to a previously defined
SIZE. Not used ifSIZEis input.FACT2Scale factor applied to the minimum element division at keypoint
NPTfor any attached line. This feature is useful with adaptive mesh refinement. Not used ifSIZEorFACT1is input.
Notes
Affects only the line divisions adjacent to the keypoint on lines not previously assigned divisions by other line commands (LESIZE, etc.). The remaining line divisions are determined from the division nearest the keypoint at the other end of the line (specified by another KESIZE command or the ESIZE command). Divisions are transferred to the lines during the mesh operation. If smart element sizing is being used (SMRTSIZE), KESIZE specifications may be overridden (that is, a smaller element size may be used) to accommodate curvature and small features.
This command is valid in any processor. The command is also valid for rezoning.
