Define mesh automatically in an electronics enclosure model

00:03

To prepare for running a simulation in Autodesk CFD, you must specify the physical characteristics of the model.

00:11

This includes defining the mesh sizing, which can be done automatically.

00:16

In this example, mesh sizing is defined for an electronics enclosure model.

00:21

First, on the ribbon, in the Setup tab, Setup Tasks panel, click Mesh Sizing.

00:28

Then, in the Automatic Sizing context panel, click Autosize.

00:33

The final step is to verify that the mesh is properly defined.

00:38

You should see blue dots along every edge of the model, as in this example.

00:43

These dots provide a simple preview of the mesh distribution.

00:47

Once all boundary conditions—including mesh sizing—are defined in your model, you are ready to start the flow simulation.
