Fillet mesh control: Geometry Approximation or number of elements

alpha_21885

I often use Fillet mesh control for my FE model.

However, I feel that 'Geometry Approximation' often generates better mesh quality.

So I am not sure when we should use No. of elements?

 

Thanks.

My recomendation: always use GEOMETRY APPROXIMATION when you select 'many' fillets at once.

 

No. of elements ONLY when you pick the fillets manually and you are sure of what you have selected.

Thanks Alessio for your advice!

Hi Alessio. I have another question for 'Along fillet mesh size', it should be same global mesh size or 0.5 or 1.5 global mesh size?
