KESIZE
KESIZE, NPT
, SIZE
, FACT1
, FACT2
Specifies the edge lengths of the elements nearest a keypoint.
NPT
Number 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).SIZE
Size of elements along lines nearest keypoint
NPT
(overrides any other specified size). IfSIZE
is zero (or blank), useFACT1
orFACT2
.FACT1
Scale factor applied to a previously defined
SIZE
. Not used ifSIZE
is input.FACT2
Scale factor applied to the minimum element division at keypoint
NPT
for any attached line. This feature is useful with adaptive mesh refinement. Not used ifSIZE
orFACT1
is 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.
