Add a Mesh (
) dataset to make a mesh available for visualization and results analysis, typically for mesh-related quantities such as the mesh element quality, which is possible to plot using a mesh dataset without computing a solution. Use a
Mesh node in a plot group to get a plot of the actual mesh.
Select the Mesh to use as the data from the list. The list includes meshes in the model, including possible meshes created for extra dimensions by the physics interfaces (listed as
Derived Mesh, for example).
The setting in the Geometry shape function list determines the shape function and order of the curved mesh elements that determine the geometry shape. Select one of the following geometry shape functions:
Linear Lagrange,
Quadratic Lagrange,
Cubic Lagrange,
Quartic Lagrange,
Quintic Lagrange,
Sextic Lagrange,
Septic Lagrange,
Linear serendipity,
Quadratic serendipity,
Cubic serendipity, or
Quartic serendipity. The default geometry shape function is
Linear Lagrange, but if you, for example, want to use the curved skewness mesh quality measure, then you need to use a higher-order geometry shape function.
