🔥 ANSYS Meshing Course – Session 6 | Local Sizing, Sphere of Influence & Bias Control 🚀
#ANSYSMeshing #MeshMethod #LocalSizing
⚡ Welcome to *Session 6* of the ANSYS Meshing Masterclass!
In this lesson, we move from *global sizing* to *precise local control* — giving you the power to refine your mesh **exactly where it matters most**.
By the end of this session, you'll master:
✅ Local sizing on bodies, faces, edges & vertices
✅ Sphere of Influence for targeted refinement
✅ Understanding sizing behavior (Soft vs Hard)
✅ Applying *Bias* for smooth grid transitions in critical flow regions
