A sphere meshed by Body Fitting algorithm
+.. note:: The algorithm creates only 3D elements. To add 2D elements use :ref:`Generate boundary elements <make_2dmesh_from_3d_page>` operation.

The meshing algorithm is as follows.
#. Lines of a Cartesian structured grid defined by :ref:`Body Fitting Parameters <cartesian_hyp_anchor>` hypothesis are intersected with the geometry boundary, thus nodes lying on the boundary are found. This step also allows finding out for each node of the Cartesian grid if it is inside or outside the geometry.

+* **Create Faces** check-box activates creation on mesh faces.
+* **Consider Shared and Internal Faces** check-box activates treatment of faces shared by solids and internal. By default the algorithm considers only outer boundaries of the geometry.
+* **Apply Threshold to Shared / Internal Faces** check-box activates application of **Threshold** to cells cut by shared and internal faces, that can cause appearance of holes inside the mesh.
* **Definition mode** allows choosing how Cartesian structured grid is defined. Location of nodes along each grid axis is defined individually:
* You can specify the **Coordinates** of grid nodes. **Insert** button inserts a node at **Step** distance (negative or positive) from the selected node. **Delete** button removes the selected node. Double click on a coordinate in the list enables its edition. **Note** that node coordinates are measured along directions of axes that can differ from the directions of the Global Coordinate System.
