4. Fine-tune your mesh using powerful mesh-constraint options.

In the previous point we showed that you can define a finite element model without worrying about the mesh. But when you do need to fine-tune the mesh, GeoStudio 2007 gives you powerful controls over the mesh patterns and element size.

• Choose from a variety of mesh patterns including unstructured quads and triangles;
• adjust the global element size and the entire mesh will be regenerated;
• force a finer mesh around specific lines or points using a ratio of the global element size and the mesh seamlessly transitions from coarse to fine.
