Review and Mesh the Model

Select an existing finite element model (FEM) representation of your geometry that contains the finite element mesh and associated properties.

A finite element model representation is an alternative representation of 1D, 2D, or 3D geometries. You can control both the size and type of the elements in the mesh when creating the representation. If required, you can modify these specifications to revise the existing mesh or to create multiple meshes for use with the simulation.

  1. From the Setup section of the action bar, click Finite Element Model .
    The Finite Element Model dialog box opens.
  2. From Name, select Example_Finite Element Model.
  3. Optional: Select Preview the highlighted model to view the selected mesh.
  4. Click OK.
