The term parameters in the Meshing application includes mesh input parameters (such as element size, height of the initial inflation layer, and growth rate) as well as mesh output parameters (number of elements, number of nodes, and mesh metric values).
A check box appears to the left of each field in the Details View that can be treated as a parameter. Clicking the check box causes a P to appear in the box, which indicates that the field has been exposed as a parameter for use in the Parameter Workspace. Fields that cannot be parameterized do not contain a check box and are left-aligned to save space. The Parameter Workspace collects all specified parameters and lists them in the Parameter Workspace grids for later use and/or modification.
Note:
If an object has a parameterized field, and that object definition is changed in a way that makes that parameterization non-meaningful, the non-meaningful parameterization will not be removed by the program. For example, if there is a parameterized Number of Divisions sizing control defined in the Meshing application and you switch to the Element Size sizing control and parameterize it, the Number of Divisions parameterization will not be removed and will continue to appear in the Parameter Workspace grids. The presence of a non-meaningful parameter in the grids has no harmful effect, but you can delete the parameter manually if you do not want it to appear. To do so, return to the Meshing application and uncheck the corresponding check box in the Details View.
If a mesh control is suppressed, the parameter associated with the control will be deleted.
If you are using a parameterized field in a Design Point study, you must specify a real value for the field rather than using its default value.
