Mesh Control dialog box–Weld Row density type options

Selection
Select Targets	Lets you select a connected chain of edges that defines the location of the weld.
Weld Row Face Data
Select Face	Lets you select the face that is attached to the edge that defines the weld location.
Layer Depth	Lets you specify the edge length of the elements in the first layer (row). This controls how much the software offsets the first row of elements into the face.
Number of Layers	Lets you specify the number of structured layers of elements to create on either side of the weld location.You can specify the number of layers as an integer value, or you can specify the number as an expression. See Expressions for more information.
Spacing on Edge
Spacing Type	Controls how you define the spacing of the elements in the weld row.Select None if you do not want to control the spacing of the elements along the edge.Select By Size if you want to specify the size of elements along the edge.
Element Size	Specifies the target element size for the weld row.
Auto Size	Click Auto Size if you want the software to estimate an appropriate element length based upon the surrounding geometry.
Preview
Automatic	Select Automatic to have the software automatically preview the distribution of nodes using the parameters you specify.
Preview	Previews the distribution of nodes using the parameters you specify.
