You can control the number of elements along any master topology edge that is outside of the boundary layer region by right-clicking the edge in the viewer and selecting one of the following commands:
Insert Edge Split Control
This option inserts an
Edge Splitobject under theMesh Dataobject, provided that the applicable master topology edge is outside, or along the outer perimeter of, the boundary layer region. You can then edit theEdge Splitobject to adjust the edge split factor.Note:
Edge Splitobjects are not available when using the ATM3D meshing approach.Increase Edge Refinement and Decrease Edge Refinement
These options enable you to choose a preset amount by which to increase or decrease the edge split factor. An
Edge Splitobject is automatically added for the selected edge if one has not been created already.
The Edge Split object displays the base and actual block edge
split counts for the applicable master topology edge. You can remove the
Edge Split object by right-clicking it in the object
selector and selecting Delete.
