Generating the Mesh and Controlling Its Display

To review your mesh before running the simulation, you can generate the mesh and display it in the 3D area.

Generating the mesh manually is optional. If you skip this part of the process and run the simulation, the app generates the mesh for you before it proceeds with the analysis.

Before you begin: Specify the mesh element size and minimum number of elements around geometric holes, as described in Adjusting the Mesh Specifications.
