Version 2.6.2 can't creat local mesh

I created a local mesh size and Meshing Parameters, but the local mesh size can’t show normal, please help me.Thanks.

Your local mesh size is 0.2 mm while the global minimum size is 1 mm. Try reducing it, then it should work.

If I reduce the global minimum size, it would be meaningless

Why ? The local mesh size shouldn’t be lower than the global minimum because that global minimum will prevent the local overwrite. So the local refinement will simply not work.

If you are concerned about the mesh becoming to large after that necessary change, you may need to reduce the size of the model in a different way. For example, by utilizing symmetry or removing some of the small fillets.

In the mesh processing of other finite element software (such as ANSYS WORKBENCH), the minimum global size can be larger than the local size, and the transition from global size to local size is achieved through mesh partitioning.

In this case, it’s not a limitation of PrePoMax, but rather the meshers it uses. You can try a different mesher, a few different ones are available although it’s mostly a choice between Gmsh and Netgen for solids.
