How to change resolutions in Gambit


In some application there are extremely small gaps to be resolved. Since the gap is much smaller than the overall dimension of the geometry, you might see overlapping or misplaying of neihboring faces or edges, and scale may not work well to see it better.


Two settings can be changed for this purpose to increase the resolution:

GEOMETRY.EDGE.MAX_NUM_FACETS = 1000

GEOMETRY.TOLERANCE.EDGE_FACET = 1.e-6

If you have existing geometry, you might try setting these defaults and then saving and restoring a database. When the database is restored, the edges will be refaceted using the default values. Just make sure that GLOBAL.DATABASE.SAVE_FACETS_IN_DB is off
