# Max Element Volume hypothesis

Max Element Area hypothesis can be applied for meshing of 3D objects composing your geometrical object. Definition of this hypothesis consists of setting the maximum volume of 3D meshing elements (depending on the chosen meshing algorithm it can be hexahedrons or tetrahedrons), which will compose the mesh of these 3D objects.

To define the Max Element Volume hypothesis:

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

In this dialog box you can set:

- Name of your Max Element Volume hypothesis

- Max. Volume: the maximum volume of 3D meshing elements
