<DIV><SPAN class=580002715-13122011><FONT face=Arial size=2>So I'm trying to
create a 2D mesh of triangles for a geographic study area. The study area
is about 200km by 200km in size. I want a mesh covering that area with
average triangle areas of 10km. After trying some sample meshes I cannot
see how the 'element size' property of my polygon's points correlates to real
world areas of lengths of edges. Is there some sort of formula for
translating the 'element size' on points to the average area of output
triangles, or average length of sides of output triangles?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
