CST2013: Special Mesh Properties - Refine

Simulation: Mesh Global Properties [Specials...] Refine

Face refinement

Refinement across axially aligned face and Refinement across elliptic face refers to refinement settings for axially aligned and elliptic face respectively.

None: No mesh refinement.

Minimum number of cells across face: This number defines the minimum number of cells across a face.

Fraction of maximum cell near to model: A value is calculated by dividing the maximum cell near to model by this number, which is further used to refine the face .

Absolute value: Specify an absolute value for refinement.

Additional cells around face: Specify the number of additional cells around face.

Edge refinement

Refinement around edge refers to refinement settings for edges.

None: No mesh refinement.

Available minimum cell: The minimum cell calculated is used for edge refinement.

Fraction of maximum cell near to model: A value is calculated by dividing the maximum cell near to model by this number, which is further used to refine the edge.

Absolute value: Specify an absolute value for refinement.

Additional cells around edge: Specify the number of additional cells around edge.

Consider PEC / lossy metal edges only: Check this to consider edges with only PEC or Lossy metal defined for mesh refinement.

Consider axially aligned edges only: Check this to consider only axially aligned edges for mesh refinement.

Additional cells around bounding box:

Specify the number of additional cells around the bounding box of the model.

Smooth mesh with equilibrate ratio:

This function attempts to create a mesh where the variation between neighboring mesh lengths is less than the defined value. It creates a smooth transition between the smallest and the highest mesh length. This lowers artificial dispersion and increases the spatial smoothness of the simulated fields.

Note: This option may increase the number of mesh points.

Consider material properties for refinement:

Check this to use material properties for mesh refinement.
