To Refine the Triangle Mesh

Increase triangle count by subdividing existing triangles

During a mesh refinement, the existing triangles are split into smaller triangles until all triangles meet the threshold edge length requirement. The shape of the part is not adjusted by this operation, but it can be particularly useful for smoothing operations which require a more refined mesh.

1. If not already opened, click Prepare > Repair Part to enter the repair module.
2. Click Mesh Edit > Refine Triangle Mesh.
   Tip: You can also right-click the display and choose Refine Triangle Mesh.
3. Make your adjustments as needed:
   • Select whether to refine only those areas composed of triangles that are currently selected.
   • Adjust the Max. Edge Length as required to control the size of the refined mesh.
4. Click OK.

Note: You can select one or more triangles in the mesh and start the Refine Triangle Mesh command to apply the operation to only the selected triangles, as opposed to the entire part.

A mesh refinement is applied to the selected surfaces of the cube.
