Local Mesh Refinement
The goal of this part is to explore the advanced features of Ansys Discovery, focusing on the implementation of local refinement in Explore-Mode for fluid simulations. In the previous lesson, we identified the need for improved geometry capture within the vane region due to low fidelity. With variable fidelity, we can enhance detail in areas with small features while maintaining coarser mesh in larger domains, promoting efficient solves.
In the 2024R1 release, Ansys Discovery introduces local refinement, allowing for increased simulation detail in specific areas, significantly enhancing accuracy without a substantial increase in GPU memory consumption.
