2D Meshing Hypotheses

Max Element Area

Max Element Area hypothesis is applied for meshing of 2D faces composing your geometrical object. Definition of this hypothesis consists of setting the maximum area of meshing elements (depending on the chosen meshing algorithm it can be triangles or quadrangles), which will compose the mesh of these 2D faces.

Length from Edges

Length from edges hypothesis builds 2D mesh segments having a length calculated as an average edge length for a given wire.

Quadrangle Preference

This hypothesis can be used only together with Quadrangle (Mapping) algorithm. It allows to build quadrangular meshes even if the number of nodes at the opposite edges of a meshed face is not equal, otherwise this mesh will contain some triangular elements.
This hypothesis has one restriction on its work: the total quantity of segments on all four sides of the face must be even (divisible by 2).
