3.2.6. CFX-Solver Output File (Mesh Adaption Runs)

When a mesh adaption step is complete, the CFX-Solver Manager reports the new meshing information, including the total number of vertices, elements and faces. The CFX-Solver then continues to determine a solution, using the adapted mesh.

The section for mesh refinement looks similar to the following:

Adaption step 2 of 3.
Number of elements initially marked for refinement:         480
Number of elements removed because:
 They already meet the minimum length criteria:               0
 They are in regions not marked for refinement:               0
 They are already in the deepest refinement level:            0
 There are not enough nodes available to refine them:      -425

Target number of nodes at end of step:                     1512
