What Is Adaptive Meshing? Adaptive meshing refines computational accuracy by automatically adjusting a mesh during or between simulation iterations. Instead of relying on a static mesh, adaptive meshing modifies element density in regions of high stress, flow gradients, or field variation. This ensures precise results with fewer computational resources, allowing engineers to capture fine details
