Mesher
Method: Specify an area for the mesh. There are three ways of specifying an area: Nodes, Line Elements, Planar Elements
Nodes : Selected nodes are displayed according to the order of selection. The selected nodes should exist on the same plane to create a mesh.
Line Elements : Selected line elements are displayed in sequential order. The selected line elements should exist on the same plane to create a mesh.
Planar Elements : Selected planar elements are displayed in sequential order. The planar elements need not be on the same plane to create a mesh.
Type
Quadrilateral : Generate a mesh using quadrilateral elements.
Quad+Triangle : Generate a mesh using quadrilateral elements and triangular elements.
Triangle : Generate a mesh using triangular elements.
Mesh Inner Domain
If this option is selected and there is an inner domain within the mesh area, a mesh is generated in the domain too.

Include Interior Nodes
If this option is selected and there is a node within the area to be meshed, a mesh is generated considering the node. The interior nodes can be automatically detected or specified by the user.

Include Interior Lines
If this option is selected and there is a line within the area to be meshed, a mesh is generated considering the line. The interior lines can be automatically detected or specified by the user and can be from line elements, planar elements or solid elements.

Ignore Boundary Connectivity
Ignore the mesh connectivity of adjacent meshes.
