number of elements in the resulting mesh for which the automatic updating
of the presentation is performed. This option affects only
<b>Compute</b> operation. Zero value means "no limit". Default value
is 500 000 mesh elements.
- <b>Incremental limit check</b> - when this control is switched on,

- in the following order: 0D elements, edges, faces, volumes, balls;
- at each step number of entities of given type will be added to the
- total number of elements computed at previous step - if resulting
- number of elements does not exceed size limit, the entities of

mesh groups for which the number of underlying nodes is calculated
automatically. If the group size exceeds the value set in the preferences,
the user will have to press \em Compute button explicitly. Zero value

- <b>Mesh loading</b>
- If <b>No mesh loading from study file at hypothesis modification</b>
- checkbox is on, the mesh data will not be loaded from the study file
+ check-box is on, the mesh data will not be loaded from the study file
when a hypothesis is modified. This allows saving time by omitting
loading data of a large mesh that is planned to be recomputed with other parameters.
