Adaptive Mesh Refinement

Help contents

QuickField is capable of adaptive refinement the mesh basing on results of previously solved problem (process also known as H-refinement). This capability practically eliminates the need for manual mesh control, allowing automatic mesh density adjustment in regions of highly inhomogeneous field.

Adjusted mesh spacing is calculated in every mesh node basing on the variation of the energy density in the node's vicinity, which is proven to be the most reliable estimation of error distribution. Although it is not possible to guarantee the precision, the refined mesh reaches its optimum providing the best precision for overall given number of mesh nodes.

Even with fully automatic initial mesh, one h-refinement iteration is sufficient for most of the problems. The adaptive mesh refinement is available for all simulation types supported by QuickField, including non-linear and transient problems.
