Generating / Re-meshing a volume mesh

This feature allows users to generate volume meshes from a closed/water-tight surface mesh or to re-mesh/modify the discretisation (element size) of an existing volume mesh using the following process:

1. Select a volume mesh or closed surface mesh from the list of meshes shown at the top left side of the window by clicking on its name. Alternatively, users can also select the mesh by using the selection mode on the Views toolbar and clicking on the mesh rendered on the screen.

2. Enter the target value in the Element Size field for the mesh discretisation.

3. Select one of the meshing algorithms: Netgen or Voxelization.

4. Click the Generate button.

Once the meshing process has completed, to save the changes applied to the mesh, click the Save button located at the bottom of the Pre page.
