Mesh refinement accoring to formula

Dear all,

Is it possible to do a mesh refinement after parts have been meshed?

Or is it best way to make a seperate surface in CAD beforehand?

I would like to add a polynom to a certain selection for the mesh. So in fact a refinement according to my own specification. Is this possible in Patran?

Thanks in advance.

In Ansys there is a way to do a spherical refinement for the mesh.

Is this option also available in Patran? For example select a node and with a radius of x mm

from that point a sphere is created in which all elements will be refined to your specified mesh. The drawback of mesh on mesh is that it does not re-mesh the surroundig elements so you get elements which are not connected to the surrounding elements. Is there a workaround for this?
