&quot;Show Mesh&quot; generates a new mesh and displays it if there is none in the memory, or it simply displays an existing mesh in the memory. This is a useful feature because generating a PO mesh may take a long time depending on the complexity and size of objects. If you change the structure or alter the mesh settings, a new mesh is always generated. You can ignore the mesh in the memory and force [[EM.Cube]] to generate a mesh from the ground up by selecting '''Menu > Simulate > Discretization > Regenerate Mesh''' or by right clicking on the '''3-D Mesh''' item of the Navigation Tree and selecting '''Regenerate''' from the contextual menu.
To set the PO mesh properties, click on the [[File:mesh_settings.png]] button of the '''Simulate Toolbar''' or select '''Menu > Simulate > Discretization > Mesh Settings... '''or right click on the '''3-D Mesh''' item in the '''Discretization''' section of the Navigation Tree and select '''Mesh Settings...''' from the contextual menu, or use the keyboard shortcut '''Ctrl+G'''. You can change the value of '''Mesh Density''' to generate a triangular mesh with a higher or lower resolutions. Some additional mesh [[parameters]] can be access by clicking the {{key|Tessellation Options}} button of the dialog. In the Tessellation Options dialog, you can change '''Curvature Angle Tolerance''' expressed in degrees, which as a default value of 15&deg;. This parameter can affect the shape of the mesh especially in the case of [[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|solid objects]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]. It determines the apex angle of the triangular cells of the primary tessellation mesh which is generated initially before cell regularization. Lower values of the angle tolerance result in a less smooth and more pointed mesh of curved surface like a sphere.

=== Running A Wire MoM Analysis ===
Once you have set up your structure in EM.Libera, have defined sources and observables and have examined the quality of the structure's mesh, you are ready to run a MoM simulation. To open the Run Simulation Dialog, click the '''Run''' [[File:run_icon.png]] button of the '''Simulate Toolbar''' or select '''Menu > Simulate > Run...''' or use the keyboard shortcut {{key|Ctrl+R}}. By default, the Surface MoM solver is selected as your simulation engine. If your project workspace contains at least one line or curve object, the Wire MoM solver is rather selected as your simulation engine. In either case, the engine type is set automatically. To start the simulation, click the {{key|Run}} button of this dialog.  Once the 3D MoM simulation starts, a new dialog called '''Output Window''' opens up that reports the various stages of MoM simulation, displays the running time and shows the percentage of completion for certain tasks during the MoM simulation process. A prompt announces the completion of the MoM simulation. At this time, EM.Libera generates a number of output data files that contain all the computed simulation data. These include current distributions, near field data, far field radiation pattern data as well bi-static or mono-static radar cross sections (RCS) if the structure is excited by a plane wave source.
You have the choice to run a '''Single-Frequency Analysis''' simulation, which is the default choice, or run a '''Frequency Sweep'''. In the former case, the simulation will be carried out at the '''Center Frequency''' of the project. This frequency can be changed from the Frequency Dialog of the project or you can click the Frequency Settings button of the Run Dialog to open up the Frequency Settings dialog. You can change the value of Center Frequency from this dialog, too.
