The value you specify determines the number of intervals along each edge or across each face that Creo Simulate uses to create plotting grids. Creo Simulate calculates quantity values at the intersections of grid lines.

Enter a number from 2 to 10 to determine the level of detail Creo Simulate uses to report results of the analysis.

If you enter a higher number, the grid will be finer, and Creo Simulate reports values from more locations on each element. At lower numbers, Creo Simulate takes less time to calculate results, and the data takes up significantly less space. The default is 4.

Creo Simulate reports precise results for each grid intersection point and interpolates these values to show results elsewhere.
