Generating the mesh
Now that the model is finished, it is ready to be meshed. The mesh will be generated using Chordal Error in order to achieve greater accuracy in the discretization of the geometry. The chordal error is the distance between the element generated by the meshing process and the real profile of the model. By selecting a sufficiently small chordal error, the elements will be smaller in the zones with greater curvature.
Generating the mesh using Chordal Error
NOTE:
By default GiD corrects element size depending on the form of the entity to
mesh. This correction option may be deactivated or reactivated in the Preferences
window on the Meshing card under the name Automatic correct sizes.
