Edit Mesh¶
Introduction¶
The Edit Mesh form is used to edit the resolution of the surface mesh used in the calculation. Users can preview the mesh and select other types of mesh resolutions.
In M-Star CFD, the fluid domain is discretized with a cubic lattice, while geometric surfaces are represented by triangular meshes. The surface mesh defines the boundaries of features within the simulation such as Static Bodies, Moving Bodies, and assorted child geometries, enabling the Solver to identify their extents.
The following images show the same impeller with a coarse, fine, and ultra fine mesh.

When you select Edit Mesh on the applicable context-specific toolbar, the form below will launch.
Edit Mesh Form¶
M-Star CFD provides two methods for generating a surface mesh from a model:
Fast Discrete: This method provides a robust solution for general-purpose meshing. It generates surface meshes using controls based primarily on linear deflection and deviation parameters.
Express Mesh: This method enables more granular control over the mesh, utilizing surface element size functions and advanced algorithms. The result is a high-quality mesh with well-shaped elements, ideal for simulations requiring greater surface fidelity.
