<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>thanks for your reply. When I change the
characteristic length factor for example to 0.5, I do understand, that the mesh
size is going to be a half smaller. </span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>But how comes off the first mesh size, which is used?
How is characteristic length defined?  </span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I’m doing some evaluation and describing of
mesh generation tools for my diploma thesis. Therefore I also describe meshing
algorithms that are used. </span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>In your tool “Delaunay” for surface
meshing is still experimental, as you say. I would like to know, which
algorithm is meant by “MeshAdapt”. Maybe you can recommend an
article about it?</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>And I noticed that every new mesh has a different
structure, even though the same parameters are used. Is the reason based on an
algorithm, which creates new points by coincidence?</span></font></p>
