Setting Up the Mesh

To reduce runtime, you increase the base size of the mesh. To aid solution convergence, you refine the mesh for the intake port and the GAVs next to the interfaces

To set up the mesh:
  1. Right-click the Mesh node and select Edit Mesh Settings.
  2. In the Edit dialog, set Base Size to 2.0 mm.
  3. Click Apply, then Close.
  4. Refine the mesh inside the created mesh refinement zones:
    1. Right-click the Mesh > Custom Controls node and select New > Volume Control.
    2. In the Edit dialog, set the following properties:
      Property Setting
      Name GAVs and Intake Port Volume Control
      Parts
      • GAV 1 Volume Control
      • GAV 2 Volume Control
      • Intake Port Volume Control
    3. In the Target Size group box, activate Specify Custom Value and set the value to 37.5.
    4. Click Apply, then Close.
  5. Save the simulation .
