Next: Notes Up: Evaluating Mesh Quality Previous: Overall Quality Value

Examples

1.
UTILITY SETUP QUALITY NODOFF .3 ALL This command sets the maximum allowable offset of the midside node to 0.3 across all element types.

2.
UTILITY SETUP QUALITY NODOFF WEIGHT .7 BE3

This command sets the proportion of NODOFF to the overall quality value to 0.7 for the element type BE3.

3.
UTILITY SETUP QUALITY ASPECT .35 QU4

This command sets ASPECT to be .35 for QU4 elements.

4.
LABEL MESH QUALITY ALL MAXANG

This command labels all elements that fail the Maximum Angle test.

5.
LABEL MESH QUALITY SUR5 NFAIL

This command labels all elements on surface SUR5 to indicate how many quality tests each element failed.

6.
LABEL MESH QUALITY SUR5 TOTAL

This command labels all elements on surface SUR5 to indicate those that fail the total quality test.

7.
UTILITY TABULATE MESH QUALITY

Each element that has failed at least one of the quality tests is listed. Values will not be written for tests which have been passed (unless the user specifies COMPLETE).

The first test to fail is indicated by an asterisk `*' as shown below:
