As one can see, the ANSYS solution for the first mesh (10x20) is already mesh converged. In other words, refinements of the first mesh do not significantly change the solution. Furthermore, all three ANSYS solutions match the analytical solution quite well. It is very difficult to discern the different plots, letting us know that ANSYS is matching the analytical solution quite well.
