Refining the mesh

- [Illustrator] The additional geometry added in the simplifier environment seems to have improved the design and elevated the safety factor. Now let's do another analysis, this time, modifying the mesh and refining it to further validate the design before we modify the original CAD geometry. On the managed panel, select settings, and then select mesh. Let's reduce the model based size and then go to adaptive mesh refinement. With adaptive mesh refinement, the mesh will automatically be modified and refined until convergence is found or at least a range of convergence is found. There are presets built in that will give you the number of mesh refinements, the percentage of convergence tolerance and other values. We can also change what the baseline is based on. Vanmaster stress, first or third principle stress or the total displacement. Selecting different presets will show you how the values change and there's a…
