This function allows the user to set parameters of refining mesh along trimming curves. The interface is illustrated in Figure 8.3.100.

REFINING MESHES

REFINING MESHES ALONG TRIMMING CURVES

Once this option is selected, the user is allowed to set parameters of refining mesh along the trimming curves. If this option is not selected, the trimming operation does not consider such operation.

MAX. REFINEMENT LEVELS (N): The default level is 3, i.e. an element can be refined into 16 elements.

MIN. REFINEMENT SIZE (SMIN): The allowable minimum refinement size. The default is 0.
