\page aspect_ratio_3d_page Aspect ratio 3D
\n The <b>Aspect Ratio 3D</b> mesh quality criterion calculates the same
parameter as the \ref aspect_ratio_page "Aspect ratio" criterion, but
it is applied to 3D mesh elements: tetrahedrons, pentahedrons,
hexahedrons, etc.
- The <b>Aspect Ratio</b> of a \b tetrahedron 3D element is calculated
by the formula:

- Other element types like polyhedron, pentahedron and hexahedron use
the following formula:

<em>To apply the Aspect Ratio 3D quality criterion to your mesh:</em>
<ol>
<li>Display your mesh in the viewer.</li>
<li>Choose <b>Controls > Aspect Ratio 3D</b> or click <em>"Aspect Ratio 3D"</em>
button of the toolbar.

Your mesh will be displayed in the viewer with its elements colored
according to the applied mesh quality control criterion:
