HFSS15: Applying Mesh Operations without Solving

If you want to refine the mesh on a face or volume, but do not want to generate a solution, do the following after defining mesh operations:

• Click HFSS>Analysis Setup>Apply Mesh Operations, or right click on the Analysis or Setup icon in the Project window to display the shortcut menu and click Apply Mesh Operations.

The same solve machine rules that apply to solving any other setup also apply here. The mesh operation will be sent to the default solve machine, or the HFSS Server Setup dialog may appear to allow you to interactively specify a solve machine if "Prompt for analysis machine when launching analysis" is selected under Tools>Options>General Options>Analysis Options tab.

• If a current mesh has been generated, HFSS will refine it using the defined mesh operations.

• If a current mesh has not been generated, HFSS will apply the mesh operations to the initial mesh.

• If an initial mesh has not been generated, HFSS will generate it and apply the mesh operations to the initial mesh.

• If the defined mesh operations have been applied to the selected face or object, the current mesh will not be altered.

Applying mesh operations without solving enables you to experiment with mesh refinement in specific problem regions without losing design solutions. You cannot undo the applied mesh operations, but you can discard them by closing the project without saving them, or by reverting to the initial mesh.
