Thermal simulation of a power transformer
I am modeling a three phase transformer and I would like to know how to make a good mesh configuration for the following model. I put the project below if you want to see it and tell me what you think.
Thank you,
Iñigo

Hello Iñigo Izaguirre,
You can control the mesh both by automatic mesh options and individual mesh.
In automatic meshing, mesh can be adapted automatically based on distance between geometric elements by using mesh point for free points, deviation for arc of circles, relaxation for free lines, faces and volumes. This can be done in Mesh<Aided mesh.
Individual mesh can be done by local management of the mesh using Mesh point and Mesh lines. This can be done by creating new mesh line or point by going into General data<Mesh<Mesh point/ Mesh line<New. then assigning them to their respective points or lines.
I have attached document and link for your reference on meshing :
