Select the following options on the Optional Parameters tab:

Trimming of open free surface

Select to specify open free surface trimming. Then click the adjacent button to select whether to trim.

Max ratio

Select to adjust the thicknesses for surface facets in which the thickness to minimum edge or diagonal length ratio exceeds the specified value. Then type an adjustment value in the adjacent field.

Scale thickness

Select to scale all of the surface facets by a single factor. Then type the scaling factor in the adjacent field.

Region type for adaptive meshing

For surfaces defined on the boundary of an adaptive mesh domain, select to create a boundary region for the surfaces. Click the adjacent button to select the type of region.

No offset

Select for the surface to ignore midplane offsets.

No thickness

Select for the surface to ignore thicknesses. Do not select this option if the surface will be double-sided or a self-contact surface.

Fillet radius

Select to define a radius of curvature to smooth discontinuities between segments. Then type a length in the adjacent field.
