Sizing Control

The Sizing control sets:

  • The element size for a selected body, face, or edge.

  • The number of divisions along an edge.

  • The element size within a user-defined "sphere of influence" that can include a selected body, face, edge, or vertex. This control is recommended for local mesh sizing. The control must also be attached to a coordinate system if it is to be scoped to anything other than a vertex.

  • The element size within a user-defined "body of influence." The body of influence will influence the mesh of the body to which it is scoped, but the body of influence itself will not be meshed.

  • The scale factor for a selected body, face, or edge. The scale factor enables you to define the local element, minimum, and defeature sizes as factors of the global element size.

  • The minimum mesh sizing used for a selected body, face, or edge. This setting overrides the default global sizing.
