Set up adaptivity for aero and combustion simulations

Adaptive simulations can let you save computation time and memory by reducing detail in different regions. You can choose to automatically reduce detail based on certain criteria, or explicitly define regions of low and high detail using mesh geometry.

  1. Add an aero_adaptivity_settings node to the top level of an aero or combustion graph.

  2. Connect its output into the additional_settings port of the aero_solver_settings node.

  3. Do one of the following:

    • Activate enable_auto_adaptivity and select a criterion for coarsen.
    • Activate enable_resolution_bounds and connect mesh objects to define world axis-aligned bounding boxes for different resolutions. Regions outside of any bounding box will simulate at the coarsest possible resolution.
