Proximity mesh controls define element refinement based on proximity. Use proximity mesh controls to avoid contact between selected components and any refinement gaps between them. 

Global and local proximity mesh controls can be defined. Global proximity mesh controls can only be created from the Adaptive Wrap > Model > Refinement section, whereas local proximity mesh controls can only be created from the Adaptive Wrap > Proximity section.

Parameters

Parameter

Description

Group Selection

Determines how proximity is defined.

•Within Group considers proximity refinement for all of the components you selected as long as the gap or proximity between the components is above the specified Proximity Tolerance.
•Across Group only considers proximity refinement for all components across Group 1 and Group 2 as long as the gap or proximity between the components is above the specified Proximity Tolerance. Proximity for the components within one group will not be considered.

Proximity Tolerance

Resolves all proximity above this value.

Self Proximity

Refines the proximity of elements within one component above the Proximity Tolerance. Only available when Group Selection is set to Within Group.
