Therefore, no file transfer operations take place, unlike Simulation Mechanical when solving on the cloud. Show tasks: Disabled by default. When running solutions on the cloud version , files are uploaded to the cloud, and the results are downloaded to the computer after solving.
The Upload, Solve, and Download stages are indicated in the Status column of the List view when this option is enabled. Expand the Solve line to see the additional task data.
Uploading and downloading tasks do not occur for local solutions. Therefore, the Show tasks option does not provide any additional useful information when running the desktop version of the product. Jobs launched within this time period are listed under the Complete heading of the MSJM user interface unless deleted.
Increase or decrease this value to show more or fewer jobs, respectively. While jobs are running, information on the job status and progress is updated at the specified time interval. Increase this value to devote more processing time to the solution and less to updating the job status.
Since Simulation Mechanical the desktop version performs all solutions locally, network traffic from status updates is not a concern. Also, processor time needed for updating the job status is minimal. Therefore, the default refresh rate works well in most, if not all, cases. The amount of time that Notification messages appear on the screen.
You can use this parameter to increase or decrease the appearance time of Notification messages. Curved surfaces are meshed more finely depending on the curvature of the surface. A limit is used on the deviation between the planar element and the curved surface, and so on. Curved surfaces are meshed based on the user-entered mesh size and refinements. The mesh size is anisotropic on curved surfaces, meaning that the ratio of the element's length divided by the element's width is not forced to be near 1.
For example, take a mesh size of 1-inch. The mesh in a fillet of 0. The mesh size is isotropic. The element's length divided by the width is near 1. The refinement settings on the Options tab of the Model Mesh Settings Surface dialog box are disabled. You cannot set the values.
The refinement settings on are available to change. In general, the default mesh size is larger. In general, the default mesh size is smaller. Tip: To take full advantage of smart bonding, deactivate Use virtual imprinting. See the paragraph, Do not match the mesh of contact pairs when applicable below. This helps the mesh to not match.
However, if other parts of the model use surface contact, then activating Use virtual imprinting is beneficial. Note: Since virtual imprinting operates where adjacent parts are in contact, the Use virtual imprinting option is not shown, and would have no effect, when working on single-part models. Note: Note that surface splitting of the model is similar to imprinting but is a separate function.
Surface splitting creates additional surfaces and feature lines in the actual model. Whereas surface splitting only works on a part-to-part basis wherever surface areas are in common , imprinting will work on a part-to-part basis and within a single part.
Imprinting can also create area, line, and point intersections. See the page Opening Models: Surface Splitting for details on surface splitting. Use virtual imprinting detects where feature lines of one surface lie on the surface of an adjacent part or surface. It does not create an intersection if the two surfaces are passing through each other such as an interference. The previously discussed Tolerance value affects both part-to-part imprinting and imprinting within parts. Retries section This section control surface mesh retries that occur when solid meshing fails for a part.
The following two settings apply: Number of retries: Set the maximum number of retry attempts that is permitted. Tip: Sometimes, it is problematic to fill a very thick or large volume with small solid element. In such cases, decreasing the surface mesh size can make solid meshing more difficult. If all of the attempted retries fail to produce a valid solid mesh, try setting a coarser mesh size.
Specify a greater Percent of automatic or Absolute mesh size value in the Surface settings. Mesh matching tab: CAD models are not perfect. Fraction of surface mesh size: If this option is selected, the surface mesh process will search for nodes within the radius defined by the average length of the elements in the surrounding area multiplied by the value in the Tolerance value field. Nodes within this radius will be snapped together.
Thus, this option results in a different matching tolerance at each region of the model if the mesh size varies. Absolute length dimension: If this option is selected, the surface mesh process will search for nodes within the radius specified in the Tolerance value field of each node to match the meshes of coincident surfaces. Fraction of automatic mesh size: This option is similar to Fraction of mesh size in that the nodes are snapped if they are within a distance of the mesh size multiplied by the value in the Tolerance value field.
The difference is that the mesh size is not based on the size of the elements at the area in question. Thus, setting a different mesh size and using refinement does not affect the tolerance dimension. This option is used only in these situations: When the analysis is set to use smart bonding see the page Meshing Overview: Creating Contact Pairs: Types of Contact Mechanical Event Simulation MES and nonlinear stress when surface to surface contact is defined between the two surfaces.
The nonlinear contact solution is more stable, and the analysis runs faster, when the meshes are not matched along contacting surfaces.
