App Description

For the arc edges of the R section you wish to control, enter the “Minimum Radius,” “Maximum Radius,” and “Element Size” in the dedicated dialog box, then click the [Generate Edge Control] button. This will perform automatic selection and specify the division size using [Size Control].

Next, clicking the [Generate Face Control] button allows you to set a mapped mesh via [Face Meshing] for faces that include the automatically selected arc edges as one of their constituent edges.

Key Benefits

The dedicated dialog for this tool makes it easier to configure the mapped mesh settings for the R face of the fillet.

Use Cases

In the Mechanical GUI, click [Fillet R Mesh Control] tab > [Show Mesh Control Dialog] to display the dialog. Enter the detection settings for the arc edges to be meshed (specifying minimum and maximum radii) and the meshing size.
