Problem : Face is (or has a narrow region that is) much smaller than the specified minimum element size.

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to mesh a model using Free Thetrahedal with extra fine size. But I keep getting a message telling me that a single face is much smaller than the element size. I used to get an another warning : "Edge is much shorter than the specified minimum element size." but I resolved it using "Edge" as an operation in the mesh and selecting the concerned edge.

Is there any mean to do so for the face or must i do something else to have a correct and suitable mesh.

Thanks for your assistance ;)

you can mesh boundary with triangles first. Then mesh the rest
