Changing the Subsectioning of a Polygon
Sonnet allows you to control how cells are combined into subsections for each polygon. This is done using the parameters “X Min”, “Y Min”, “X Max” and “Y Max”. These parameters may be changed for each polygon, allowing you to have coarser resolution for some polygons and finer resolution for others. You use the Object - Metal Properties command to change these settings.
Please note that these controls are not used if conformal meshing is applied to the metal polygon. There are separate controls when conformal mesh is applied to a polygon. For more information about conformal meshing subsection control, please refer to Conformal Mesh Subsectioning Control.
Before discussing how to make use of these parameters, we need to first understand em’s automatic subsectioning for a polygon when the parameters are set to their default settings.
