Menu: Mesh->Draw Mesh→Draw
This option is used to draw the meshing properties assigned to the geometrical entities.
Mesh Menu>Draw>Sizes
Menu: Mesh->Draw->Sizes
When sizes are assigned to points, lines, surfaces or volumes using the Assign Unstruct sizes option, it is possible to draw the different assigned sizes in different colors.
EXAMPLE
Following example shows some different sizes assigned to surfaces. Sizes of 3, 5 and 6 are assigned depending on the surface.
After choosing the Draw Sizes option (over surfaces) we get the following result:
Mesh Menu>Draw>Num of divisions
Menu: Mesh->Draw->Num of divisions
This option draws the number of divisions assigned to the structured lines of the model (see Structured_bad).
Mesh Menu>Draw>Element type
Menu: Mesh->Draw->Element type
With this option you can see which element types have been assigned to each geometric entity. If no element type has been assigned , it is shown as Default (see Mesh Menu).
Mesh Menu>Draw>Mesh - No mesh
Menu: Mesh->Draw->Mesh / No mesh
With this option you can see the entities that has either been forced to mesh or forced not to mesh (see Mesh NoMesh). If the meshing criteria have not been assigned to an entity, it is shown as Default (see Mesh Menu).
Mesh Menu>Draw>Structured type
Menu: Mesh->Draw->Structured type
With this option you can see what kind of mesh will be generated for geometrical entities, i. e. Unstructured, Structured or Semi-structured. If no level of structure has been assigned, it is shown as Default (see Mesh Menu).
Mesh Menu>Draw>Skip entities
Menu: Mesh->Draw->Skip entities
With this option you can see which lines and points will be skipped when meshing using the meshing preferences set at that moment (see Preferences ), and the lines and points set as Skip or NoSkip mesh criteria (see Skip).
Mesh Menu>Draw>Duplicate
Menu: Mesh->Draw->Duplicate
With this option you can see the entities that have been assigned duplicate mesh (see Duplicate).
Mesh Menu>Draw>Force points to
Menu: Mesh->Draw->Force point to
With this option you can see the number of points forced to be in the mesh of a surface or volume (see Force points to).
Mesh Menu>Draw>Boundary layer
Menu: Mesh->Draw->Boundary layer
With this option you can see the first layer height of the boundary layers set in the model (see Boundary layer). In '2 dimensional' option the lines from wich the boundary layer will grow are shown, and in '3 dimensional' the surfaces.
In cases where two boundary layer meshes grow from the same geometrical entity (one for each side), the minimum value of the first layer heigt is shown.
Mesh Menu>Draw>Unstructured mesher
This option allows to draw over each entity which unstructured meshing method is asigned.
