Method Control

The Method Control provides meshing algorithms used for meshing solid and sheet bodies. The Method control is valid only for a body. When you do not select any Method Control, application applies Automatic Method on all bodies to provide a successful automated mesh. By default, the application attempts to use hexahedral elements for solid bodies and quadrilateral element generation for sheet bodies. If a solid body is not sweepable, the body is meshed with the Patch Conforming Tetrahedrons mesher.

To set the values for the Method control,

On the Tree Outline, right-click Mesh and click Insert > Method.

Or

On the Tree Outline, click Mesh and click Method in the Mesh Context tab on the Ribbon.

In the Details view for the scoped local method, you can set Method based on whether you want to apply the method to a solid body or a sheet body. For more information, refer to:
