"Show Mesh" 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°. 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]]]]]]]]]]. 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.

A Wire MoM simulation involves a number of numerical [[parameters]] that normally take default values unless you change them. You can access these [[parameters]] and change their values by clicking on the '''Settings''' button next to the "Select Engine" drop-down list in the '''Run Dialog'''. This opens up the Wire MoM Engine Settings Dialog. In the '''Solver''' section of the dialog, you can choose the type of linear solver. The current options are '''LU''' and '''Bi-Conjugate Gradient (BiCG)'''. The LU solver is a direct solver and is the default option of the [[MoM3D Module]]. The BiCG solver is iterative. Once selected, you have to set a '''Tolerance''' for its convergence. You can also change the maximum number of BiCG iterations by setting a new value for '''Max. No. of Solver Iterations / System Size'''. The Wire MoM simulator is based on Pocklington's integral equation method. In this method, the wires are assumed to have a very small radius. The basis functions are placed on the axis of the "wire cylinder", while the Galerkin testing is carried out on its surface to avoid the singularity of the Green's functions. In the "Source Singularity" section of the dialog, you can specify the '''Wire Radius''' . [[EM.Cube|EM.CUBE]]'s [[MoM3D Module]] assumes an identical wire radius for all wires and wireframe structures. This radius is expressed in free space wavelengths and its default value is 0.001λ<sub>0</sub>. The value of the wire radius has a direct influence on the wire's computed reactance.

=== 3D MoM Sweep Simulations ===
You can run [[EM.Cube|EM.CUBE]]Libera's MoM3D MoM simulation engine in the sweep mode, whereby a parameter like frequency, plane wave angles of incidence or a user defined variable is varied over a specified range at predetermined samples. The output data are saved into data file for visualization and plotting. [[EM.Cube|EM.CUBE]]'s [[MoM3D Module]] Libera currently offers three types of sweep:
# Frequency Sweep
# Parametric Sweep
