Mesh

The following tables provide tags and their descriptions for editing the mesh, as well as a list of the available options. These are all case-sensitive and should be typed as written below.

! The option names are listed in the following table.

Options
Names	Option values	Description
`EdgeLength`	number > 0	Edge length target for the mesh.
`MergeTolerance`	number >= 0	Merge tolerance; nodes within this tolerance will be merged after meshing.
`Match`	True/False	Enables/disables mesh matching for fusion models.
`Smoothing`	True/False	Specifies whether node positions will be smoothed.
`ElementReduction`	True/False	Enables/disables automatic element size determination for fusion meshes from faceted geometry.
`TetraRefine`	True/False	Enables/disables tetrahedral refinement for 3D meshes.
`TetraLayers`	4<=integer<=20	Number of layers through thickness for tetrahedral meshes. If (set layer number) % 2 == 1, (set layer number + 1) will be set. For example, if you set 9 layers, then 10 will be set in the .sdy file.
`TetraMaxAR`	number > 0	Limit on aspect ratio for tetrahedral meshes.
`MaximumMatchDistanceOption`	0/1	Specifies the option to determine the limit on max match dist.
`MaximumMatchDistance`	number > 0	Limit on match distance for wedges.
`UseTetrasOnEdge`	True/False	Specifies whether tetras are to be created on model edges.
`RemeshAll`	True/False	Specifies whether previously meshed portions of the model will be re-meshed.
`UseActiveLayer`	True/False	Specifies whether the newly generated mesh will be pushed into the active layer.
`PostMeshActions`	True/False	Specifies whether post-meshing actions such as smoothing are enabled.
`ChordHeight`	number > 0	Chord height value.
`ChordHeightControl`	True/False	Specifies whether using chord height.
`NurbsMesher`	0/1	Specifies nurbs mesher algorithm using default(0) or Advancing Front(1).
`AutomaticTetraOptimization`	True/False	Specifies whether or not to optimize tetras automatically.
`SourceGeomType`	Auto-Detect /Fusion /Midplane	Specifies Source Geometry Type.
`ChordHtAspectRatio`	True/False	Specifies whether optimizing aspect ratio by surface curvature control.
`ChordHtProximity`	True/False	Specifies whether optimizing aspect ratio by proximity control.
`MergeCavityRunner`	True/False	Specifies whether merging cavity runner. Currently, there is no corresponding UDM keyword for this option.
`SurfaceOptimization`	True/False	Specifies whether using surface optimization.
`ChordAngleSelect`	True/False	Specifies whether using chord angle.
`ChordAngle`	number > 0	Chord angle value.
`MaxEdgeLengthInThicknessDirection`	number > 0	Specifies maximum edge length in thickness direction.
`Mesher3D`	AdvancingFront / Legacy	Specifies 3D mesher type.
`CadContactMeshType`	PreciseMatch /FaultTolerant /IgnoreContact	Specifies CAD contact mesh type.

Note: Units for dimensioned quantities are in the unit system that is specified in the <UnitSystem> keyword.
