Global Properties [Specials...] AdvancedConvert geometry data after meshing
Prepare geometry data for accurate post processing at the end of the matrix setup.
Use singularity model for PEC and lossy metal edges
Activates the corner correction for PEC edges based on analytical models.
Material based refinement
None: No mesh material based mesh refinement
Wavelength refinement: Dielectric and permeable materials influence the wavelength of the electromagnetic fields. With this setting, the mesh density for the affected structures will be adjusted according to this effect.
Low frequency refinement: The mesh density is set depending on the material parameters. Higher permittivity or permeability leads to moderately finer meshes.
Consider surrounding space for lower mesh limit
If the check button is activated then the whole bounding box is considered for the lower mesh limit, otherwise only the structure bounding box is considered.

Ratio limit governs local mesh refinement
If this check button is enabled then the local mesh refinement settings are constrained by the ratio limit. In contrast by deactivating this button the local mesh refinement settings are accepted regardless the ratio limit (for more information about the ratio limit see Mesh Properties (Hexahedral) ).
Use TST cells
Activates Thin Sheet Technology (TST) cells.
Gap representation tolerance
If this check button is enabled then the accuracy of the internal representation of non-metal gaps is increased. This accuracy enhancement applies only to those locations in the mesh where the size of the mesh cell is large compared to the size of the gap.
A tolerance value might be specified to skip the accuracy enhancement for gaps that are smaller than a certain value. This tolerance value is given in spatial dimensions with respect to the globally defined units.
If gaps cannot be represented with a sufficient accuracy the respective mesh cells are marked with a purple frame within the mesh view.
Parallelization frame
Parts of the matrix calculation process take advantage of running multiple sub-processes in parallel. The dropdown list in this frame allows to control the parallelization behavior.
Choose one of the following three options:
Maximum: Automatically uses the maximum possible number of parallel threads regarding the license and hardware configuration of your computer.
Use up to: Enter here the desired number of threads to use. The entered value will not exceed the maximum.
None: Disables the parallelization.
Please note: Parallelization works only in combination with FPBA.
PBA fill limit
This setting refers to a percentage of how much a mesh area is filled with PEC. Every mesh area that is filled with more than this percentage will be treated as fully filled.
Point accuracy enhancement
Defines the accuracy level for the internally used geometric data representation. Use the default level of 0% for a fast and accurate matrix setup. If you encounter problems during the meshing process, increase this level. An accuracy of 100% means using the highest possible accuracy of the build-in CAD kernel, but slows down the matrix generation.
Defaults
Resets all settings to the default values.
