Features include:

• Generates fully unstructured tetrahedral meshes



• Can treat models components swept in arbitrary directions



• Automatic mesh generation and Adaption



• Components can be partially overlapping: a component's space has precedence over all other partially overlapping components that precede it in the Object page



• It can mesh imported geometry from other CAD systems

Available manual mesh control tools

Mesh Layers (3D only)
Specify the following mesh layer region parameters:

• height of each layer (uniform, logarithmic or user-defined)
• thickness of the layers
• total thickness of the mesh layer region
• number of layers

Mesh edge subdivisions

Maximum element size

• Can be assigned at the global (or model) level
• Local maximum element sizes can be applied to component volume, surface, edge, or vertex

Polynomial order

• Can be specified individually for each component of the problem, through the PolynomialOrder parameter of the component's Parameters pages
• Can be set for the model as a whole, from the Solver Options dialog box
• Can be set to 1, 2, or 3

Curvature refinement ratio

• Can be set globally
• Can be set locally on component volumes, surfaces, and edges

Curvature refinement minimum element size

• Can be set globally
• Can be set locally on component volumes, surfaces, and edges
