Insert Points
Select this option on the
Settings tab if you want AutoGEM to add extra points when needed to help create elements in complex areas of your model.
If you select Insert Points, AutoGEM may add the following types of points:
• Boundary points—points on surface boundary curves in addition to those it adds to create valid element edges.
• Interior points—points on surfaces and inside volumes. These points are in addition to those points that AutoGEM adds to create valid element edges between existing points.
AutoGEM sometimes cannot create a full set of elements on a surface or volume having complex features. If Insert Points is selected, AutoGEM is more likely to fully cover each surface or volume with elements.

 You can also choose to add points manually to guide AutoGEM through complex areas of your model. |
For an example of a model for which
Insert Points enables AutoGEM to create a full set of elements, see
