You can adjust the mesh resolution and increase the geometric fidelity of discretization by creating more and finer triangular facets. On the other hand, you may want to reduce the mesh complexity and send to the SBR engine only a few coarse facets to model your buildings. To adjust the mesh resolution, open the Mesh Settings Dialog by clicking the '''Mesh Settings''' [[File:mesh_settings.png]] button of the Simulate Toolbar or select '''Simulate > Discretization >''' '''Mesh Settings...'''. This dialog provides a single [[parameters]]: '''Edge Mesh Cell Size''', which has a default value of 100 project units. If you are already in the Mesh View Mode and open the Mesh Settings Dialog, you can see the effect of changing the mesh cell size using the {{key|Apply}} button.
Some additional mesh [[parameters]] can be accessed by clicking the {{key|Tessellation Options}} button of the dialog. In the Tessellation Options dialog, you can change the '''Curvature Angle Tolerance''' expressed in degrees, which has a default value of 45°. 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|[[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|[[Solid Objects|solid objects]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] with curved surfaces. Note that unlike [[EM.Cube]]'s other computational modules that express the default mesh density based on the wavelength, the resolution of the SBR mesh generator is expressed in project length units. The default mesh cell size of 100 units might be too large for non-flat objects. You may have to use a smaller mesh cell size along with a lower curvature angle tolerance value to capture the curvature of your curved structures adequately.

In a regular SBR simulation, you have a transmitter and one or more arrays of receivers in your scene. At the end of the simulation, you can visualize the coverage map of the transmitter over the receiver sets. A coverage map shows the total '''Received Power''' by each of the receivers and is visualized as a color-coded intensity plot. You can visualize the coverage maps of individual receiver sets. At the end of a SBR simulation, each Received Power Coverage Map is listed under the receiver set's name in the Navigation Tree. To display a coverage map, simply click on its entry in the Navigation Tree. The coverage map plot appears in the Main Window overlaid on the scene. A legend box on the right shows the color scale and units (dB). The 3-D coverage maps are displayed as horizontal confetti above the receivers. If the receivers are packed close to each other, you will see a continuous confetti map. If the receivers are far apart, you will see individual colored squares. You can also visualize coverage maps as colored 3-D cubes. This may be useful when you set up your receivers in a vertical arrangement or the scene has a highly uneven terrain. To change the type of coverage map visualization, open the receiver set's property dialog and select the desired option for '''Coverage Map: Confetti''' or '''Cube''' in the '''"Visualization Options"''' section of the dialog.

After the completion of a frequency sweep simulation, as many coverage maps as the number of frequency samples are generated and added to the Navigation Tree under the Receiver Set's entry. You can click on each of the coverage maps corresponding to each of the frequency samples and visualize it in the project workspace. You can also animate the coverage maps.
