CrysMAS needs a mesh as a mathematical basis for the simulation. The mesh is unstructured and has triangular meshes.
Select Computation > Generate mesh.
The program starts generating the mesh. You can observe the progress of
the generating process in the right field of the
status bar. The
Show/hide mesh button
becomes active as soon as the computation is finished.
Click on the
Show/hide mesh button
in the tool bar.
By default, only the geometry (regions) is displayed for the left side of the furnace. You can, however, select most results to be displayed for both furnace sides via the Show dialog.
Select Visualization > Show.
Click on the check box next to mesh in the column Left.
The
Show/hide mesh button
controls the display of the mesh only for the right side of
the furnace. For turning it off on the left side, you use the
Show dialog.
Click on the check box next to mesh in the column Left.
Click on Close to close the Show dialog.
Click on
Show/hide mesh button
to turn the mesh display off for the right side.
The mesh is not displayed anymore, but the
Show/hide mesh button
remains active thus indicating that the mesh has already been computed.
Select File > Save file.
The mesh will be saved to the LGF_prototype.crys file. The next time you load
this file, the
Show/hide mesh button
will be active.
