Local Resolution Constraint dialog box

Name
Name	Specifies the name of the local resolution constraint that appears in the Simulation Navigator under the Constraints Container node.
Resolution Density Types
Selection type list	Specifies the region that is affected by the local resolution constraint.Size on ObjectsIndicates that the constraint affects the region in the proximity of the selected edges, faces, or body surfaces.Size on ElementsIndicates that the constraint affects the region in the proximity of the selected element faces.Size in Bounding BoxIndicates that the constraint affects the region inside the bounding box.Size in Bounding SphereIndicates that the constraint affects the region inside the bounding sphere.Size on ObjectsSize on ElementsSize in Bounding Box****Size in Bounding Sphere	Size on Objects	Size on Elements	Size in Bounding Box	Size in Bounding Sphere

Selection
Select Object	Appears when Resolution Density Types is set to Size on Objects.Lets you select one or more polygon bodies, polygon faces, polygon edges, or selection recipe containing these objects that are affected by the local resolution constraint.
Element Faces	Appears when Resolution Density Types is set to Size on Elements.Lets you select element faces or selection recipe containing them that are affected by the local resolution constraint.
Stacked Smart Selector Methods	Appears when Resolution Density Types is set to Size on Objects or Size on Elements.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.
Select Point	Appears when Resolution Density Types is set to Size in Bounding Box or Size in Bounding Sphere.Lets you select a point to indicate:The two ends of the diagonal of the bounding box. You need to select two points in sequence. The two points must be on different planes.The center of the bounding sphere.
Bounding Sphere Radius	Appears when Resolution Density Types is set to Size in Bounding Sphere.Sets the value for the radius of the bounding sphere in the model units.
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. The effective local resolution is a power of 2 factor of the global resolution, R.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).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).Example: When you choose 5 (Very Fine), the effective local resolution is equal to R/25 = R/32.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 local resolution constraint with respect to the other local resolution, contact prevention, or other auto refinement constraints, when they are in conflict.
