Hello everyone

I'm trying to refine my mesh at a specific part of geometry. Can I increase the number of parts at a specific volume of geometry consisting of one part? I'm looking to do something like this

Adding sizing or refinement to the mesh would affect the whole body since it consists of only one part. Will appreciate any help.

First create a Coordinate System at the specific location where you want the small elements.

Add Mesh Sizing, scope it to the body and select Sphere of Influence in the Details window, change the Coordinate system to the one just created and specify a Radius and Element Size.

Thanks, it works?! Now, I need to make several spheres inside the body to make a path of small elements, am I right?

I haven’t used it before, but in the Mesh Sizing dialog, choose Body of Influence below the Sphere of Influence. That will create small elements in the region of intersection between the body being meshed and the body of influence.  Of course you have to add a new solid to your geometry to use this feature.

Thanks again, that was helpful.
