About Meshing Rules

Rules help you establish predefined ways for meshing certain features.

Creating and Modifying Meshing Rules

Meshing rules are documents saved on the 3dx platform that define how you want to mesh particular features. By using rules, you can specify that you want a particular mesh size, with a defined number of nodes around holes. You can also indicate features to ignore while meshing; for example, you holes smaller than a specified diameter.

Once you have meshing rules, you can use them to create the meshes for all your models. You can also use them in automated FEM procedures. Meshing rules can help provide consistency in the meshes for all your simulations.
