<h1>About quality controls</h1>

<p class="whs1"><img src="../i_blue.jpg" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="30px" height="30px" border="0" class="img_whs2"> <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Mesh
 quality control</B></span> in MESH is destined for visual control of the generated
 mesh.</p>

<p class="whs1">Application of a definite quality control
 consists of usage of the corresponding algorithm, which calculates a value
 of a definite geometric characteristic (Area, Length of edges, etc) for
 all meshing elements, composing your mesh. Then all meshing elements are
 colored according the calculated values. The reference between the coloring
 of the meshing elements and these calculated values is shown with the
 help of a scalar bar, which is displayed near the presentation of your
 mesh. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p class="whs1">There are 1D, 2D and 3D quality controls.
