nglib mesh configuration parameters

Post by landersaohn »

I am meshing a ago file in elmergui. The "max h" parameter is covered in the tutorials but the other two are not as far as I could find. Does anybody know what those do?
Secondly, is there a way to mesh finer close to boundaries than elsewhere within elmergui?

- In the main window, choose View -> Cad model...
- In the cad model window, choose Model -> Preferences...
- Check "Restrict mesh size on surfaces by STL density"
- In the main window, open your stp file
+ there are more options in the CAD Model Preference Window

Code: Select all

H max = Maximum global mesh size allowed
fineness = Mesh density: 0...1 (0 => coarse; 1 => fine)
Bgmesh = Background Mesh ??
Not sure what Bgmesh does ...
