Meshing in Creo Ansys Simulation
The mesh generation process may be either automatic or manual. Physics-aware meshing is the default meshing approach where meshing is based on the simulation study and the geometry. Physics-aware meshing ensures minimal settings for the meshing process to generate an optimal mesh. Each time you run a study the mesh generation process is automatically run by the solver followed by the study run. You can also run mesh generation independently if you want to study the mesh before running the study.
Use one of the following commands to generate the mesh:
• Click Ansys Simulation > Run > Generate Mesh
• From the Mesh Control tab.
1. Click Refine Model > Mesh Control to open the Mesh Control tab.
2. Click Generate Mesh to generate the mesh.
The mesh generation process is run by the solver and depending on the size of your model it can take some time. You can view the status of mesh generation in the Process Manager.
To view the mesh on the model after meshing, or on the active results use one of the following commands:
• Click from the In-Graphics Toolbar
• From the View tab—Click View > Display Mesh.
• From the Mesh Control tab.
1. Click Refine Model > Mesh Control to open the Mesh Control tab.
2. Click Display Mesh.
Updating the Mesh
The Generate Mesh command is only available when the mesh is out-of-date for the study. A mesh is out-of-date for the following conditions:
• If the model geometry changes—In this case if you regenerate the mesh, the results of all the studies will be out-of-date and unavailable. You have to rerun all the simulation results for studies to be available again.
• If the simulation inputs change—Changing or adding loads, constraints or any other simulation object makes the mesh out-of-date.
• If mesh controls are changed—Changing any of the global mesh controls, creating or updating mesh refinement controls makes the mesh out-of-date.
