MODE

The MODE Command  sets up several optimization options.

SYNTAX

mode/discrete/surface_cmo/tolldamage

mode/adaption_field/field_name

mode/recon/geom delaunay adaption

Discrete optimization

discrete/surface_cmo/tolldamage

If this mode is set, refine, smooth, merge will require any operation that involves nodes on the specified surface to result in a mesh whose surface nodes are also members of the surface_cmo.

A mesh object attribute associated with the 3d mesh named discrete_optimize will be created and its value will be the name of the surface mesh object.

Error adaption

adaption_field / field_name

If this mode is set, optimization operations will be based on reducing error.  A mesh object attribute associated with the 3d mesh named ‘adaption_field’ will be created and it’s value will be the name of the field.

Reconnection

recon/geom

recon/delaunay

recon/adaption

Setting this mode will determine the criterion used to reconnect the mesh.  The default mode is delaunay and setting mode to delaunay will cause recon to attempt to create a delaunay mesh.  Setting mode to geom will reconnect to increase inscribed radii of elements.  Setting mode to adaption will reconnect to reduce solution error.  The parameter field_name must be set with the mode/adaption_field command.
