Ask Adam to mesh the analysis geometry for a named solver and study. A surface mesh that looks smooth may still have poor elements, missing regions, or incorrect boundaries for the solver.

Specify the mesh requirements

Provide the source revision, units, solver, physics, and quantity of interest. Name thin regions, fillets, interfaces, or boundary layers that need attention. If you have an existing mesh, provide it and its quality report before requesting a rebuild.
Mesh a structural analysis copy

Check the exported mesh

1

Check scale and coverage

Confirm the envelope, material regions, connectivity, and intended solid or fluid domain.
2

Check element or cell quality

Use the selected solver’s metrics and supported element types. Locate failed regions so they can be repaired.
3

Check boundary mappings

Confirm required groups are nonempty and on the expected surfaces. Recheck after remeshing or topology changes.
4

Read the solver input back

Where a checker or parser is available, inspect the exported input rather than relying only on the mesher’s display.

Refine against the result

A larger mesh is useful only when it improves resolution of the relevant response. Compare displacement, pressure drop, stress at a defined location, or another chosen quantity across refinements while holding the physical inputs fixed.
Plan a mesh sensitivity check
For CFD, include near-wall resolution and its compatibility with the wall treatment. For local structural stress, investigate whether a reported peak reflects a singularity before using it as a refinement target. Retain the mesh, generation settings, boundary map, and quality summary. Continue with Structural analysis, Fluid analysis, or Troubleshooting.
