Mesh
Once you have exited the modeling window, initiate the meshing process by clicking on Mesh in the workflow.
Set Mesh Size
In the Engineering Intent drop down menu select Structural, thermal or electric conduction and use a low mesh resolution setting on the slider. This will automatically adjust the mesh settings for our needs. Ensure that under Global Sizing, the Curvature option is being used for the size function method.
Generate Mesh
Click Generate Mesh under Output or at the top of the screen by the status window for Mesh, AIM should detect you are ready to generate the mesh and highlight the buttons in blue. Below is an example of what the mesh should look like.
