The
CORNER BIAS MESH control allows the user to enter an element bias factor (0.625
to 1.6) relative to the selected corner of the line data that is to be modeled.
This function multiplies or divides the size of each adjacent element that is
created from the selected corner by the bias factor.
If the
CORNER BIAS MESH option illustrated in Figure 13.1.1 is toggled on, the user can define the bias factor by
dragging the slider. An example of mesh with corner bias mesh control is
illustrated in Figure 13.1.2(c).
Note: A bias factor greater than 1.0 generates proportionately
larger elements from the selected corner. A bias factor less than 1.0 generates
proportionately smaller elements from the selected corner. This function can only be implemented with
the
(a) No Bias (b) Edge Bias (Bias Factor >1) (c) Corner Bias (Bias Factor >1)
