Hi @csuznxg,
I apologize for missing this topic. Did you find a procedure for this that worked for you?
@negativevolume Thank you for your reply. Actually, I think I didn't get an effective means yet. Someone told me a global mesh sensitivity analysis could work for this. For me, I keep a constant mesh size for those parts not very important and just refine the mesh of the part I interested in.
@csuznxg Got it. But yeah, what you are currently doing is the "easiest" way around this for the short term. However, if you ever have to do a parametric study or something similar then I'm sure you wouldn't want to do manual refinement every time.
@csuznxg I can only imagine that LS-Opt would be the way to go. Here is something that may or may not be helpful for you in the future. I've never used LS-Opt myself but have worked with people who do frequently. I believe it can be used for mesh optimization.
