KESIZE, NPT
, SIZE
, FACT1
, FACT2
Specifies the edge lengths of the elements nearest a keypoint.
NPT
Number of the keypoint whose lines will be adjusted. If ALL,
use all selected keypoints [KSEL]. If NPT
=
P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored
(valid only in the GUI).
SIZE
Size of elements along lines nearest keypoint NPT
(overrides
any other specified size). If SIZE
is zero (or
blank), use FACT1
or FACT2
.
FACT1
Scale factor applied to a previously defined SIZE
.
Not used if SIZE
is input.
FACT2
Scale factor applied to the minimum element division at keypoint NPT
for
any attached line. This feature is useful with adaptive mesh refinement.
Not used if SIZE
or FACT1
is
input.
Affects only the line divisions adjacent to the keypoint on lines not previously assigned divisions by other line commands [LESIZE, etc.]. The remaining line divisions are determined from the division nearest the keypoint at the other end of the line (specified by another KESIZE command or the ESIZE command). Divisions are transferred to the lines during the mesh operation. If smart element sizing is being used [SMRTSIZE], KESIZE specifications may be overridden (i.e., a smaller element size may be used) to accommodate curvature and small features.
This command is valid in any processor. The command is also valid for rezoning.
