Creating a Size Control on a Face

  1. On the ribbon, click Size .
  2. Click Select Faces and select a face or faces to which you want to add a local size control. The Element size dimension box is displayed on the face.
    Note: Sizing controls can be applied to geometry faces or free block faces. If the Ghost blocked geometry option is enabled (default) and the mesh has been generated, blocking faces will be selected. To select geometry faces instead, disable the Ghost blocked geometry option or hide the blocking in the Structure tree.
  3. In the Element size dimension box or in the Size Options panel, specify a value for Element size and press Enter. Pressing Enter does not trigger a remesh, but the new element size is previewed on the face.
  4. (Optional) In the Size Options panel, specify a value for Defeature size, Growth rate and Growth height as required, and press Enter. Pressing Enter does not trigger a remesh, but the new value is displayed.
  5. (Optional) In the Size Options panel, enable Curvature sizing as required. Specify a value for Minimum size and Normal angle if needed, and press Enter.
  6. (Optional) In the Size Options panel, enable Proximity sizing as required. Specify a value for Minimum size and select Proximity size function sources as needed. The Edges option is selected by default.
    If Physics Type is set to Fluid Dynamics, select a Direction to check for proximity and specify the number of Cells across gaps, and then press Enter.
  7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 until you are satisfied with the previewed size. Then press Enter a second time or click Complete to apply the new size.
