This task shows how to identify and to focus on unmeshed domains at any time. Unmeshed domains are shown and can be browsed after launching the mesh execution directly in the Mesh the Part dialog box only if the mesh execution fails. With the Unmeshed Domains capability, you can browse and focus on unmeshed domains at any time.
This command is only available in the Surface Mesher workshop, and the Advanced Surface Mesher workshop (after the geometry simplification or the mesh execution).
Open the Sample06.CATAnalysis document from the samples directory.
- Enter the Advanced Surface Mesher workshop. See Entering the Advanced Surface Mesher Workshop.
- Launch the geometry simplification. See Simplifying the Geometry.
-
Click Unmeshed Domains
in the Mesh Surface Tools toolbar.The Unmeshed Domains dialog box appears.
- Autofocus: lets you localize easily visible unmeshed domains by focus on them.
- Current: gives you the
number of unmeshed domains that are detected (in this particular
example, 20 unmeshed domains have been found) and lets you visualize a particular
unmeshed domain either by entering a number or by clicking the
and
buttons.
/0 in the Current box means that no unmeshed domain is found, that is to say that all the domains are meshed.
-
Select the Autofocus check box.
As soon as the check box is select, the first unmeshed domain is focused on.
-
Click the
button.The second unmeshed domain is focused on.
-
Enter 10 in the Current box, and press Enter to focus on the tenth unmeshed domain.
-
Click Close.
