is activated before you leave the dialog.<br />

To select the elements to be refined go back to the<br />

Supermesh view and click on Refinement Selection.<br />

Click on all segments of the line and of the edge<br />

that separates the two polygons. The selected edges are<br />

shown in green. Then click on Generate Mesh<br />

again. The resulting finite-element mesh with local<br />

refinement is shown in figure 6.7.<br />

Next, we will apply the Triangle algorithm to generate<br />

a finite-element mesh.<br />

Choose Triangle from the generator list in the<br />

Mesh-Generator toolbar. Open the Generator<br />

Properties dialog and activate refinement for polygon<br />

edges, line and point elements with the following settings:<br />

Refinement around SELECTED polygon edges<br />

• Polygons: gradation: 5, target element size: 1.0 m<br />

• Lines: gradation: 3, target element size: 0.5 m<br />

• Points: gradation: 3, target element size: 0.5 m<br />

• Leave the dialog and use the Refinement<br />

Selection tool to select the edge between the two<br />

polygons in the Supermesh view. Clicking on<br />

Generate Mesh should now produce a finiteelement<br />

mesh that looks similar to the one on the<br />

left in figure 6.8.<br />

For every supermesh polygon the mesh density can<br />

be defined separately while the total number of elements<br />

remains constant. Go to the Supermesh view<br />

and activate the tool Edit Meshing Density in the<br />

Mesh-Generator toolbar. <strong>FEFLOW</strong> now automatically<br />

selects a polygon for which a meshing-density<br />

factor can be specified. Start with the proposed polygon<br />

and enter a factor of 10. After hitting <br />

the number in the input field turns red, indicating that<br />

the meshing density for this polygon has been modified.<br />

Proceed with the second polygon. Select it with a<br />

single click and enter a density factor of 2 in the<br />

input field. Hit again and start the mesh generation<br />

with a click on Generate Mesh. The right<br />

mesh in figure 6.8 shows the resulting finite-element<br />

mesh. To reset the meshing density factors to the<br />

default value of 1, click on Reset Meshing Density.<br />

A finite-element mesh with quadrilateral elements<br />

can be generated using the Transport Mapping algorithm.<br />

We load a new file which is similar to the one used<br />

for the triangulation exercises, except this supermesh<br />

consists of only one polygon that has exactly four<br />

nodes. Click on Open and load the file quadmesh.smh.<br />

Transport Mapping requires supermesh<br />

polygons with exactly four nodes. Lines and points are<br />

ignored in the mesh-generation process.<br />

To enable the quad meshing option go to Mesh
