Mesh Section

The Mesh section of the action bar provides commands for changing the mesh density in critical locations of your model and visualizing the contact between meshes, if any.

Mesh Part Manager
List of mesh parts and local mesh specifications that allows editing.
See About the Mesh.
Local Mesh Size
Defines the mesh density for local regions.
See Defining a Local Mesh.
Project Curves
Projects curves onto the mesh to enforce node creation along those curves.
See Projecting Curves.
Imposed Points
Projects points onto the mesh to enforce node creation at those locations.
See Imposing Points.
Create Mesh
Generates the mesh for each part based on its mesh setup and any additional mesh constraints.
See About the Mesh.
Show Non-Conformal Meshes
Highlights the non-conformal elements between part surfaces that are coincident.
See Showing Non-Conformal Meshes.
Mesh Capture Order
Specifies which part projects its mesh onto other parts when attempting to create a conformal mesh between them.
See Defining the Mesh Capture Order.
Show Contacting Bodies
See Flyout for Finding Contacting Bodies.

Flyout for Finding Contacting Bodies

Show Intersecting Bodies
Highlights regions in a model where parts intersect or overlap.
See Locating Intersecting Bodies.
Show Contacting Bodies
Highlights regions in a model where parts come into contact but do not intersect or overlap.
See Locating Contacting Bodies.
Show Disconnected Bodies
Highlights parts that do not have any connections.
See Locating Disconnected Bodies.
