FAQ: Should I use a smaller base level or more levels to get more accuracy?

Question

Should I use a smaller base level or more levels to get more accuracy?

Answer

For CFD, the best option is always to use a smaller base level and fewer levels than a large base level and lots of levels. This is especially the case when using turbulence models such as k-ε or when using boundary layer. (see tips on best practice)

For FEA models, cell count is usually the important factor. Try and use a base level size which gives the lowest cell count but also gives good surface recovery
