Reply To: Explore Mode vs Refine Mode

[Atharv Joshi]

 

Hi Thomas, 

Explore Mode discrtizes the geometry in voxels and utilizes real-time GPU solvers, which are excellent for quick, exploratory simulations during the early stages of design. This mode allows for rapid iteration and innovation, helping you to explore ideas with unprecedented speed.

Refine Mode, on the other hand uses Ansys’ flagship solver technology for higher fidelity results. It offers more control over aspects such as contacts and meshing. You can apply local mesh refinement in refine mode and make necessary refinements. 

 

If you select LiveGX solver in Refine Mode, it uses traditional mesh but uses GPU solvers which provide much faster results. 

Try increasing the simulation fidelity, apply local refinement in refine mode and resolve. Please share the screenshot of simulation setup for better understanding.
