Hemisphere Mesh Primitive dialog box

Mesh Name
Mesh Name	Specifies the name of the 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
CSYS	Lets you create or select a coordinate system. The software uses the origin of the specified coordinate system as the center of the base of the hemisphere. The software creates the base in the XY plane of the coordinate system.For more information, see CSYS dialog box.
Automatic Hemisphere Orientation and Radius	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 length of the radius using the location of the mesh primitive and the size of the FE model.
Offset XOffset YOffset Z	Lets you specify the distance to offset the center of the hemisphere's base in the X, Y, and Z directions relative to the specified coordinate system.
Cover Hemisphere Base	Controls whether the software creates elements on the planar base of the hemisphere.
Mesh Parameters
Maximum Element Size	Specifies the maximum element size for the mesh.Type a size and select the units, or click Automatic Maximum Element Size to compute the maximum element size based on the radius of the hemisphere.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 dynamically preview the size, location, and appearance of the mesh primitive as you modify the options.
Show Result	Previews the 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.
