Controls

Cell Options   controls the marking of boundary layer cells.

Cell Distance   indicates adaption using the distance of the marked cell to the boundary zone.

Register   indicates adaption using an existing register.

Splitting Options   control how the splitting ratio is computed.

Automatic   allows the ratio to be computed automatically from the mesh.

Manual   allows you to enter a specific value for the ratio in the Split Ratio field.

Number of Cells   indicates the number of cells to be adapted and marked (available only when the Cell Distance option is enabled).

Split Ratio   allows you to specify a value for the split ratio (available only when the Manual splitting option is enabled).
