# Average Length hypothesis

Average Length hypothesis can be applied for meshing of edges composing your geometrical object. Definition of this hypothesis consists of setting the length of segments, which will split these edges. The points on the edges generated by these segments will represent nodes of your mesh. Later these nodes will be used for meshing of the faces abutting to these edges.

To define the Average Length hypothesis:

Select this hypotheses in the Create Hypotheses dialog box click Create. The following dialog box will appear:

In this dialog box you can set:

- Name of your Average Length hypothesis

- Length of segments which will split the edges of your geometrical object
