Training Manual

Mesh parameters based on cmdb template (BladeModeler/BladeEditor/etc/ template.cmdb) Mesh size can be adjusted by changing the Mesh Scale Factor (MSF) in CFX-Mesh Default MSF is 0.6 Larger meshes produced for tall thin axial blades than for radial blades CFX-Mesh MSF preference has no effect on template MSF, only on new mesh sessions
