    Hi Dinesh Krishna,

    Greetings!

    No matter in what order you apply the mesh controls, SimLab will prioritize the mesh controls in the following manner, starting from,

    Edge

    1. Edge Mesh Seed
    2. Region Mesh Size
    3. Edge Mesh Size
    4. Smaller of the face mesh size on the faces connected to it.
    5. Feature Mesh Size
    6. Body Mesh Size
    7. Global Mesh Size (Size defined in the Surface Meshing dialog box)

     

    Face

    1. Region Mesh Size
    2. Face Mesh Size
    3. Feature Mesh Size
    4. Body Mesh Size
    5. Global Mesh Size (Size defined in the Surface Meshing dialog box)

     

    Body

    1. Region Mesh Size
    2. Body Mesh Size
    3. Global Mesh Size (Size defined in the Surface Mesh dialog box)

    You can find this detail in the help page of SimLab (press F1 key to open the help page).
    I am attaching a snapshot showcasing how to access this information from help page.

     

    Hope this information helps you.

     

    Kind Regards

    Aniruddh
