Monitoring Mesh Statistics

Statistical information pertaining to the mesh is available only in the Refine stage.

To report on the number of elements and nodes in the generated mesh:

  1. From the Monitors menu in the ribbon of the Simulation tab, select Custom.
  2. Select Mesh Statistics from the variable list in the Monitors HUD.
  3. Select the geometry for which you want mesh information.
  4. Choose Element count or Node count in the options panel to obtain a report on the number of nodes or elements in the generated mesh.
  5. Click the green check mark to accept the settings.

Once the mesh is generated, the number of nodes and elements are reported in the Notification hex of the SID as well as the monitor charts.
