Element-size assignment methods

GiD automatically corrects the sizes of the elements according to the form of the entity to mesh. This default option may deactivated and reactivated by going to the Meshing menu, selecting Preferences, and then selecting Automatic correct sizes. Sometimes, however, this type of correction is not sufficient and the user must indicate where on the mesh greater accuracy is needed. In these cases, GiD permits assigning the sizes of the elements through various options/methods.
