NV1, NV2, NINC

Mesh volumes from NV1 to NV2 (defaults to NV1) in steps of NINC (defaults to 1). If NV1 = ALL, NV2 and NINC are ignored and all selected volumes [VSEL] are meshed. If NV1 = P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored (valid only in the GUI). A component name may also be substituted for NV1 (NV2 and NINC are ignored).

Notes

Missing nodes required for the generated elements are created and assigned the lowest available numbers [NUMSTR]. During a batch run and if elements already exist, a mesh abort will write an alternative database file (File.DBE) for possible recovery.

Tetrahedral mesh expansion [MOPT,TETEXPND,Value] is supported for both the VMESH and FVMESH commands.
