# Max Element Area hypothesis

Max Element Area hypothesis can be applied for meshing of 2D faces composing your geometrical object. Definition of this hypothesis consists of setting the maximum area of meshing elements (depending on the chosen meshing algorithm it can be triangles or quadrangles), which will compose the mesh of these 2D faces.

To define the Max Element Area hypothesis:

From the Hypotheses menu select Max Element Area or click button. The following dialog box will appear:

In this dialog box you can set:

- Name of your Max Element Area hypothesis

- Max. Area: the maximum area of meshing elements
