Independent of the solution adaptive actions, the Mesh Conditioning option provides a mechanism for manually conditioning the mesh. Mesh conditioning is typically performed prior to the first solution pass, and is limited to global refinements/enrichments. The options available on this panel include:
Field |
Description |
Enrich globally |
This option increases the polynomial order (p) of all elements to the order given by Min p-order. It does not decrease the order of elements with values greater than Min p-order. |
Refine globally |
This option refines all elements to the level given by Min h-level. It does not unrefine elements with refinement levels greater than Min h-level. |
Control grading |
This option refines the mesh to control the relative size of neighboring elements. |
Dismiss |
This option closes the panel. |
