Type of Analysis and Intended Element Size

The type of analysis determines how coarse or fine the resulting mesh will be. Different parameter sets will be used for idealization and FE model building. Some of the panels might be skipped due to their size according to the settings. The system creates a list file showing the skipped panels.

The intended element size also controls the approximation of curved geometry (surfaces, holes, panel boundaries) by straight lines. The pre-mesh elements do not necessarily have this size as their (side) length.
