The diagnostics tools show more detailed information about the problems listed in the Mesh Statistics report.
The Mesh Diagnostics panel () contains the following diagnostics to check the mesh:
| Panel item | Use this diagnostic to... | Supported mesh type |
|---|---|---|
 Aspect Ratio Diagnostic |
Locate elements that have an aspect ratio above a specified limit |
|
 Beam L/D Ratio Diagnostic |
Locate cooling channel elements that are too short or too elongated |
|
 Overlapping Elements Diagnostic |
Locate elements that overlap or intersect, and therefore occupy the same space |
|
 Orientation Diagnostic |
Locate elements whose top/bottom sides are defined inconsistently |
|
 Connectivity Diagnostic |
Locate elements that are not connected to the rest of the mesh |
|
 Free Edges Diagnostic |
Locate element edges that are not shared, which may indicate gaps or holes in the mesh |
|
 Collapsed Faces Diagnostic |
Locate places where opposite faces of a plane share a node, and so have zero thickness |
|
 Dimensional Diagnostic |
View model dimension values |
|
 Thickness Diagnostic |
Check that thickness values in the mesh are set correctly |
|
 Occurrence Number Diagnostic |
Check that occurrence numbers in the mesh are set correctly |
|
 Zero Area Element Diagnostic |
Locate very small element |
|
 Dual Domain Mesh Match Diagnostic |
Check that there is a good correspondence between the elements on each side of a Dual Domain mesh |
|
 Beam Element Count Diagnostic |
Locate cooling channels meshed with insufficient elements |
|
 Trapped Beam Diagnostic |
Locate beam elements that are too close together |
|
 Centroid Closeness Diagnostic |
Locate triangle elements that are too close together |
|
 Cooling Circuit Diagnostic |
Check that each cooling circuit has only one inlet and outlet |
|
 Bubbler/Baffle Diagnostic |
Check that bubblers and baffles are modeled correctly |
