Auto Refinement Constraint dialog box

Name
Name	Specifies the name of the auto refinement constraint that appears in the Simulation Navigator under the Constraints Container node.
Selection
Select Object	Lets you select one or more polygon bodies to improve their resolution in the surface wrap body. You can also select a selection recipe that contains the geometry to refine.
Stacked Smart Selector Methods	Opens the Smart Selector Methods dialog box where you can specify a progression of smart selection filters.For more information, see Smart Selector Methods dialog box.
Minimum Resolution
Sizing Option	Specifies the sizing option to refine or coarsen surface wrap bodies in selected regions.Relative RefinementRefines the surface wrap domain in the affected region. The refinement is relative to the default resolution specified in the surface wrap recipe. You specify the amount of local refinement in the Local Subdivision list. Relative CoarseningCoarsens the surface wrap domain in the affected region. The coarsening is relative to the default resolution specified in the surface wrap recipe. You specify the amount of local coarsening in the Local Subdivision list.AbsolutePerforms a local refinement or a local coarsening using the absolute dimension for the local resolution that you specify in the Local Resolution box.
Local Subdivision	Appears when Sizing Option is set to Relative Refinement or Relative Coarsening.Specifies the effective local resolution using R/2x, where R is the global resolution and x is the specified local subdivision.When you specify a relative refinement, the effective local resolution is smaller than the global resolution. You can choose: 0 (None), 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 (Very Fine). For example, when you choose 5 (Very Fine), the effective local resolution is equal to R/25 = R/32.When you specify a relative coarsening, the effective local resolution is greater than the global resolution. You can choose: 0 (None), 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 (Very Coarse). For example, when you choose 5 (Very Coarse), the effective local resolution is equal to *R**25 = *R**32.
Local Resolution	Appears when Sizing Option is set to Absolute.Sets an absolute local resolution in the dimensions of the model. The software rounds up this value to the closest available effective local resolution.
Priority
Level	Specifies the priority level of the auto refinement constraint with respect to the other auto refinement, contact prevention, or local resolution constraints, when they are in conflict.
