Now we will examine the simulation results from ANSYS.

Mesh

Before we dive in to the solution, let's take a look at the mesh used for the simulation. In the outline window, click Mesh to bring up the meshed geometry in the geometry window.

Look to the outline window under "Mesh". Notice that there are two types of meshing types on the geometry: a mapped face meshing and a face sizing meshing. The mapped face meshing restricts the type of element shapes that will be used in the mesh - in this case, quadrilaterals. The face sizing controls the size of the elements. If you click on Face Sizing
