    This document is a step-by-step guide for using enhanced meshing techniques in ANSYS such as adaptive sizing, multizone meshing, and spheres of influence. It demonstrates these techniques on a valve model, generating a mesh with around 200,000 nodes requiring minimum 6GB RAM to solve. The guide reviews existing mesh settings, generates a basic mesh, then refines it using the various enhanced techniques to improve quality and efficiency.
