From > > , you can specify the following.
| Preference | Description |
|---|---|
| Auto Detect Contact On Attach | When selected, enables contact detection computing when geometry is
imported into Meshing. This check box is selected by default. |
| Save Mesh Data In Separate File | When selected, enables the default setting for the Save
Mesh Data In Separate File property in Mechanical systems
(such as Static Structural) for subsequently created Mechanical systems.
The property setting controls whether mesh data is stored in a separate
.acmo file for the current system. Saving the mesh data in a separate file reduces the overall file space required and reduces the possibility of disc corruption in very large database files on Linux systems. |
| Close Meshing During Launch If No License |
When selected, stops the Meshing application from opening and displays a message if no license is available in the queue or if the license checkout process fails. Selecting this preference is beneficial when you are working with a large model that requires a lot of time to open. . You can obtain license failure information in the licensing debug file. See the Getting Additional License Debug Information section of the Ansys Licensing Guide for more information. When cleared, opens Meshing in read-only mode. |
| During a design point update, periodically restart the Meshing application | When selected, directs the Meshing application to automatically
restart after the specified number of design points when running in
batch mode. Each restart resets the Meshing application and slightly lengthens the processing time, but can improve overall system performance (memory and CPU) when the meshing of each design point is long. In such cases, specify a low number of design points before restarts. In cases where the meshing step for each design point are short, reduce processing time by increasing the number of design points before restarts or prevent restarts completely by disabling this preference. |
| Number of design points to update before restarting the Meshing application | Sets the number of design points to update when the During a design point update, periodically restart the Meshing application check box is selected. The default is 1. |
