Now, change the options here, de-select curvature base mesh and go for standard mesh. Make sure the default is set automatic transition is set off. We go back to our global mesh size of .4 of an inch. We can also set the option, save settings without meshing. This will stop it re-meshing every time we change a parameter, so we click okay. Now there's a warning triangle that appears against the mesh icon. That indicates that the model mesh is now into date compared to the latest mesh controls we've set up because we reset back from curvature, to standard meshing. I right mouse click on mesh and click on, applying mesh control. Let's go into the little end and I want to select the inner surface is an outer surface as the little end. So, I pick these, you can see as I go, there are symbols indicating there's a local mesh control…
