Volume Selector mesh controls define which volumes should be meshed and how mesh should be generated. Only one instance of a volume selector mesh control is allowed.
The parameters defined for Volume Selector mesh controls are applicable to both BL + Tetra and Tetra model mesh controls.
Parameter |
Description |
||||||||
Select Volumes |
Defines which volumes to mesh.
Example: When this option is enabled, and there is a sphere inside of a larger sphere, the volume of the inner sphere as well as the volume between the two spheres will be meshed.

||||||||
Mesh to File |
Stores the generated mesh in a .nas file after meshing is finished. When enabled, specify a location to export the mesh. |
||||||||
BL and Tetras in One Component |
Stores BL elements and tetra elements in one component. When disabled, BL elements and tetra elements will be stored in separate components, which is useful when you need to define morphing constraints on BL elements. |
||||||||
Generate BL Contours |
Generates a .res file in your working directory of BL result contours (Number of layers, first layer height, total BL thickness) for each input element after volume meshing is finished. This file will automatically be assigned the same name as the HyperMesh model file, but it will have a .res extension. BL contours help you visualize how BLs are generated. View this file in the Contour panel, or by clicking File > Load > Results from the menu bar. Scroll through the available results. Only applicable to BL + Tetra model mesh controls. |
