the given surface triangulation is enriched (no coarsening at all) in such away that the distance
between the elements in the final mesh and those of the initial one is bounded by auser specified tolerance value.
One should use this option, to enrich the mesh where purely
geometrical features may be insuficiently fine, i.e. the resulting mesh will be least as fine as the input.
Mesh and the geometric features will be refined if needed as specified by the other program parameters.
The meshes obtained with those settings may not be suitable for computation.
Pure Geometry Enrichment (G)

a uniform subdivision of the given surface triangulation is performed :
each triangle of the given surface triangulation is considered at and
is divided into identical triangles.
Uniform Subdivision (U)
false
-
a surface sandpapering without shrinkage of the given surface
triangulation is performed, i.e., the high curvature variations of the
given surface will be smoothed out without shrinking the volume in
doing so. If ridges are defined, they will be kept as they are in the
resulting mesh.
This option modifies the geometry.
Smoothing (S)
false
-
The given surface triangulation is modified in such a way that the distance between
the elements in the final mesh and those of the initial one is bounded by a user specfied tolerance value.
One should use this option, to coarsen when a purely geometrical mesh is needed. (a mesh that keeps
and obeys its geometric features only.) The meshes obtained with this option are usually not suitable
for computation because anisotropic elements may be generated

Geometrical Mesh : Coarsening and Enrichment (2)
-
The given surface triangulation is modified in accordance to a size map.
The latter can be either the intrinsic size map (computed automatically
and based on the surface properties, i.e. the local curvatures),
or on a given size map (which is then combined to the intrinsic size map).
One should use this option to coarsen the mesh, when a regular mesh
for computation purposes is desired, i.e. a mesh with good aspect ratios or
good quality elements.

if not set (ridge detection disabled), Yams will not try to detect any new ridge edge by its own mechanism :
it will consider as ridge only the ridges given in the mesh.
All non-ridge edges that would have been detected as ridge by the Ridge angle paramaeter
(see below) will be considered as part of the same continuous patch.
This option should not be checked when all the known ridges of the mesh are given and
when all other possible ridges are not geometric ridges to take into account.

This field (as well as tolerance) enables the user to control the accuracy of the
piecewise linear approximation of the surface. This parameter enables the user to
control the maximal angle allowed between two adjacent faces. It can be used to
bound the maximal deviation of the mesh faces from the tangent planes at mesh vertices.
In other words, it avoids having sharp angles between faces representing a smooth curve.
This parameter enables the user to specify the maximal chordal deviation "max relatively to the curvature.
Following that criterion:
- if the chordal deviation epsilon is smaller than epsilon max *r, it is acceptable to remove the considered point;
- if the chordal deviation epsilon is greater than epsiolon max*r, the considered mesh face should be redefined
by adding a point on the curve.
One can see that the smaller the radius r, the harder it is to satisfy this criterion:
epsilon max is a real value corresponding to a percentage, the ratio between the chordal deviation to
the local curvature. This field is used only for optimisation style -O values of -1, 0 and 1.
The default value for "max is set to 0:04 which leads to angles of less than 33 degrees between two adjacent
faces .

This parameter allows the user to prescribe a maximal size hmax
for the mesh elements i.e., the lengths of the edges with respect to the specified
size map. The corresponding values are either relative or absolute depending on the choosen parameter.
The default values are automatically set based on the surface geometry (curvature dependent) and its
bounding box size.
Please note that, as it is not strictly possible to obey the given or computed size map, the actual maximal
size may be slightly bigger than the prescribed ones.

This parameter enables the user to control the element size variation in the triangulation.
Yams will avoid getting two adjacent edges which sizes differ by a factor bigger than this parameter.
To avoid rapid size variations, a size correction procedure is applied to the size map.
In other words: if two adjacent edges are respectively e1 and e2 long
if e2 > parameter * e1 then e02 the new size for the second edge will be set to parameter* e1.
This procedure is de-activated if yams computes a mesh for finite element with only coarsening.
The default value is 1.3, which is the usual value set for computational meshes.

The program requires roughly about 370 bytes per point. It is thus possible to estimate a priori
the required memory size to complete a job. As an example of memory space needed, a mesh
of 543,652 points (1,087,716 triangles) requires 182 Mbytes (about 351 bytes per point). Conversely,
a workstation having 512 Mbytes of memory can handle a mesh of about 2,750,000 points.
The memory needed for mesh modification is allocated dynamically at the beginning of the procedure
(data reading), based on the initial triangulation size. When the program reaches the amount of maximal
memory allowed, it will stop inserting points and, if possible, the current mesh will be saved as it is,
valid and conformal, provided the input mesh was valid and conformal.
Specify the memory if:
- the automatically allocated memory reveals insufficient when the user asked to enrich the given mesh;
- you want to limit the amount of memory used by the program.
If the input mesh size requires more memory than requested or if the allocated memory (user defined or not)
exceeds the machine capabilities, the tool will stop because of insufficient memory.
