How to set the number of 2D mesh in a quicker way using "rule

Jacobier_20601

Hi, I am trying to create 2D mesh with "rule" function. I have line on one side and nodes on the other side. However, since I have about 2000 nodes, and the auto set number on the line is only about 500. So I have to keep clicking the number on the line until 2000 if I want equal mesh densities on both sides? Is there any quicker way that I can change the mesh density on the line side?

Are there already nodes and elements on the line? If not, you should be able to change your mesh size to get more nodes on the line.

Are you in the classic interface or the new interface? There are ways in both to type in a number.

For classic you can use the option below:

for the new interface it is even easier because you just select the number and type in a new one:

Another tip for classic: you may also 'scroll' the number, by holding down mouse button and moving mouse away or towards you

How do you switch to new interface? I did not see an input window like yours.

From start menu:

Then select HyperMesh from the launcher, with required solver profile:

There are a series of videos in this KB article discussing the new interface: New HW interface features

I think I am using the new interface already.
