Wow, I was afraid of that (about needing to use the parametric option).
I have played with that algorithm but have found that the default values of the options do not get me anywhere near the mesh of an automatic algorithm on simple geometries. In fact, I do not think I have ever been able to get an error free mesh of my whole aircraft geometry and the list of parameters is so overwhelming and the difficulties in error code analysis make it so that I don’t even know where to begin.
- Has anyone ever though of having an option that presents the ‘parametric’ algorithm parameter values that were effectively the values that the ‘automatic’ algorithm came up with for its meshing output?
I hope you can understand that question. Basically I want the parametric default options ‘filled’ in with what the ‘automatic’ algorithm came up with as a place to start for further refinement of the mesh… I think that question deserves its own topic, what do you think?
Before I begin the quest to successfully use the parametric option on the whole aircraft geometry, I will just experiment on a main wing only as I have in the XLFR5 vs CFD topic.
I will report back here after that and hope that the results there will let me continue here…
