Voxel Size

How does voxel size affect run time?

Decreasing voxel size can increase the solution run time exponentially to the power of 4 (assuming a uniform part, like a cube).

As an example, if the initial voxel size took 5 minutes of run time, and then the voxel size was reduced by half the run time could approximately be expected to increase to 5*(1/0.5) ^4 = 80 minutes.

Currently, voxel size is limited to between 0.02mm and 2mm. However, due to the memory requirements of smaller voxel size simulations, this range of voxel size is not guaranteed to finish the simulation.
