Hyperworks CFD - How to update mesh and visually confirm new mesh

1. When I import my initial .x_t file, I generate a coarse mesh for it. The mesh below has 3mm large elements

  • 2. I can run a solution using that mesh, but if I want to refine that mesh to have smaller elements (e.g. 1mm), there doesn't seem to be any way to visually update the mesh to see that it's been more refined. Things I've tried:
    • Simply clicking "volume mesh" again and changing the element size from 3mm to 1mm. The mesh will solve, but nothing will visually update. I still see the coarse mesh  
    • I can click the "Remove Volume Mesh" button (see below), but the coarse mesh still shows up
      • image
    • I can click the "Remove Volume Mesh" button AND re-mesh with a finer element size, and the COARSE mesh will still show up
  • 3. Even after running a solution, I'm not sure which mesh that solution ran on, because I don't know how to view the most updated/rebuilt mesh...

Any advice?
