Refining the Mesh of the Transparent Solids and Housing

In this part of the tutorial, you extend the simulation to include participating media radiation. As a first step, you refine the mesh of the lens, halogen bulb, and rear housing.

You refine the thin mesh in the wall-normal direction to model the radiative transfer within the participating media more accurately.
To refine the mesh of the transparent solids and housing:
  1. Expand the Geometry > Operations > Automated Mesh > Default Controls node.
  2. Select the Number of Thin Layers node and set Number of Layers to 8.
  3. Right-click the Automated Mesh node and select Execute.


  4. Once the automated mesh operation is complete, save the simulation.
