Box Solid Mesh Primitive dialog box

Mesh Name
Mesh Name	Specifies the name of the box solid mesh primitive.
Element Properties
Type	Specifies the type of elements to create.
Edit Mesh Associated Data	Appears when you select an element type that requires the definition of additional properties.Opens the Mesh Associated Data dialog box where you can define solver-specific properties for the elements. The software applies these properties uniformly to all the elements in the mesh. For more information, see Mesh-associated data.
Primitive Parameters
Method	Specifies the location of the box solid mesh primitive.At Center — Places the center of the box solid mesh primitive at the origin of the selected coordinate system.At Corner — Places the lower-left corner of the box solid mesh primitive at the origin of the selected coordinate system. The lower-left corner corresponds to the minimum X, Y, and Z values with respect to the selected coordinate system.
CSYS	Lets you create or select a coordinate system.If you select a coordinate system, the software uses the origin of the specified coordinate system as the origin of the box solid mesh primitive.For more information, see CSYS dialog box.
Automatic Box Position and Size	If a coordinate system exists, places the coordinate system at the center of the model but does not change the orientation.If no coordinate system exists, this command creates a new one that is aligned with the absolute (global) coordinate system.This command also computes the size of the box using the location of the box solid mesh primitive and the size of the FE model.
You can define an offset value (X, Y, Z) to place the box solid relative to the local coordinate system, and you can define the size of the box solid in terms of length in the X, Y, and Z directions.
Offset XOffset YOffset Z	Offsets the location of the mesh primitive relative to the local coordinate system. in the X, Y, and Z directions.
Length XLength YLength Z	Defines the length of the mesh primitive in the X, Y, and Z directions.
Mesh Parameters
Maximum Element Size	Specifies the maximum element size for the mesh primitive.Type a size and select the units, or click Automatic Maximum Element Size to compute the maximum element size based on the size of the box.To specify the element size as a function of frequency, click the DesignLogic list and select Function to use the SizeForAcoustics function. For more information, see Element size for acoustic analysis.
Destination Collector
Automatic Creation	Creates a new mesh collector for the current mesh using the default physical properties.
Mesh Collector	Lets you select an existing collector or create a new one. Click New Collector to use the Mesh Collector dialog box to create additional mesh collectors. See Mesh collectors for more information.
Preview
Preview	Lets you preview the size, location, and appearance of the box solid mesh primitive elements in a dynamic view as you specify the necessary options.
Show Result	Lets you preview the box solid mesh primitive based on your current selections.Note: For performance purposes, the software limits the number of elements that you can dynamically preview. The final mesh may be different from the mesh that you preview.
