The Display Mesh Quality option runs a diagnostic check of
individual element quality. Mesh Quality can be displayed by a histogram.
refer to the Quality
Histogram section.
- Mesh types to check
allows you to select the mesh types to check with a selected Quality criterion. For large 3D grids, you may want to disable the check for surface elements.
- Elements to check
allows you to select the mesh elements to be checked.
All
checks all elements.
Active parts
checks all elements in active parts.
Visible subsets
checks elements in visible subsets only.
Visible subsets and active parts
checks elements in visible subsets and active parts.
- Quality type
specifies the Quality criterion selected from the drop-down menu.
- Refresh Histogram
refreshes the histogram displayed.
