<div><font color="#1F497D">now that I have successfully created a anisotropic mesh width field for my geometry, I get a crash when I do the 3D meshing. 2D meshing works without problem. I have the impression that the desired mesh width may be too small. Is
this so, and what is the smallest mesh width gmsh can cope with?</font></div>

<div style="padding-left:35.4pt;"><font color="#1F497D"> </font></div>
<div style="padding-left:35.4pt;"><font color="#1F497D">I have got it to work, but I still don’t understand why. It seems that the fields in MathEvalAniso have to be 1/(mesh_width)^2. But why?</font></div>
<div style="padding-left:35.4pt;"><font color="#1F497D">I have read the relevant part of the gmsh manual, but didn’t find the answer there.</font></div>
<div style="padding-left:35.4pt;"><font color="#1F497D">A short explanation and/or a pointer to more info would be highly appreciated.</font></div>

<div style="padding-left:70.8pt;">Hi,</div>
<div style="padding-left:70.8pt;"> </div>
<div style="padding-left:70.8pt;">I want to mesh a geometry with layers stacked in z direction, where each layer should have a mesh width in the xy plane, and a different one in z direction. I have tried to combine the Box, Min and MathEval Aniso fields to
achieve this (see attachment). But the mesh widths are not as I expect, in particular in layer 2 in z direction it should be 1/20 its height. What do I do wrong?</div>
<div style="padding-left:70.8pt;">How is the mesh width derived from the m11, m22 and m33 fields in MathEvalAniso?</div>
<div style="padding-left:70.8pt;"> </div>
<div style="padding-left:70.8pt;">Thanks for some explanations and hints,</div>
