2D Local Remesh dialog box

Elements to Remesh
Select Elements	Lets you select the elements that define the region of the mesh to refine.Note: You can use the Smart Selector Options in the Top Border bar to select the elements. For example, if you lock element edges from modification, you can use the Related Element Edges option to quickly select all related element edges along the boundary of the mesh.
Element Labels	Lets you add elements to the selection.Use a space or comma to separate your entries.Use a colon or a dash to add a range of element labels.For example, enter 1:10 or 1-10 to add all the element labels from 1 to 10.Use colons to add an incremented range of element labels.For example, enter:1:9:2 to add element labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.1:10:2 to add element labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10.10:1:-2 to add element labels 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1.Press enter or click Select to add your entries.To edit your selection, click Edit Element Selection .
Lock Element Edges
Select Element Edges	Lets you select the edges of elements along the boundary of a mesh that you do not want the software to modify during the local remeshing process. The software transitions between the element size at the locked edge and refinement mesh parameters that you specify.
Mesh Parameters
Refinement By	Lets you select the elements that define the region of the mesh to refine.Select the Size option to explicitly specify the size for the new elements. Use the Element Size box to specify the new element length.Select the Factor option to reduce the size of the elements by a specified factor. For example, if you specify a Factor of 0.5, the software uses a target element size that is 50% of the refined element size. Use the Scale Factor box to specify the scale factor.
Transition	Controls the rate of size variation between the region that you selected to refine and the surrounding mesh. You can use the Transition option to set the rate of size variation between 0 and 100. The higher the value you specify, the more abrupt the size variation between the refined elements and the surrounding mesh.For example:If you specify a value of 0, the size gradient is zero. This means the element size should not vary between the refined elements and the surrounding mesh.If you specify a value of 50, the size gradient is moderate. This means that there is a gradual change in element size between the refined elements and the surrounding mesh.If you specify a value of 100, the size gradient is rapid. This means that the element size of the refined mesh may vary greatly and change rapidly from the element size in the overall mesh.
Local Mesh Controls
Local Control Type	Specifies the type of mesh control to create.Select Mapped Hole to create a structured mesh around a selected hole or inner loop.Select None if you do not want to define a mesh control.
Number of Elements	Available when Local Control Type is set to Mapped Hole.Specifies the number of elements to create around the perimeter of the hole.
Number of Layers	Available when Local Control Type is set to Mapped Hole.Specifies the number of layers of elements to create around the hole.
Total Layer Depth	Available when Local Control Type is set to Mapped Hole.Sets the maximum total depth of the all layers of elements around the hole.
