Quality

The Quality options let you customize settings for the quality criteria of the mesh.

Expand this section to access Default Standard Criteria Set options.

Specify the set of quality criteria that you want to use to analyze mesh quality.

Choose criteria set from template

Select one of four quality criteria templates:

Name Description
Abaqus_Element_Checks Mesh checks based on the Abaqus solvers. The element shapes are verified using criteria designed to prevent most potential mesh-related errors when you run the analysis.

By default, this option is selected.

Elfini_Checks Mesh checks compatible with CATIA Analysis V5/V6 apps.
Hex_Dominant_Mesh_Checks Mesh checks preferred for hex-dominant meshing, such as often used for fluid domain simulations.
Mesh_Default_Checks The general mesh criteria used by default.

Choose criteria set from database

Select a set of quality criteria saved to the database.

To use a criteria set from the database, you must previously have saved mesh criteria using the Export Criteria tool (see Multiphysics Meshing User's Guide: Checking the Mesh: Analyzing Mesh Quality). You can then choose any saved set of mesh criteria.
