Show Tiny Edges

The Show Tiny Edges command lets you highlight edges in your model that were ignored or skipped during meshing. These edges are smaller than the specified Minimum Element Length value on the different meshing dialog boxes. These are edges that the software is unable to abstract (collapse) automatically. The software simply skips them during the meshing process to avoid compromising the quality of the mesh.

To highlight the tiny edges in your model, right-click an existing mesh in the Simulation Navigator and select Show Tiny Edges from the menu.
