Average element size is calculated as follows through command hm_getaverageelemsize:
\nQUAD elements: average size of one element = sqrt(1\/2 * (longest diagonal) * (sum of the parallel altitudes))
\nTRIA elements: average size of one element = sqrt(area)
\n# The total average size is then calculated by summing each average size and dividing by the number of elements considered.
\n# Value is rounded to 3 digits. Change parameter 3 of command to 1 to deactivate rounding.<\/p>\n
\r\nhm_getaverageelemsize mark_id ?panel_sensitive? ?round?\r\n<\/pre>\n# mark_id = The ID of the mark containing the shell elements.
\n# panel_sensitive = can be used when multiple panel levels have been pushed, either using the shortcut function keys, or the hm_pushpanel command. This option determines whether to use the
\n# current panel or the previous panel for the operation. This option is relevant only when the mark has been created from a panel entity selector under the above conditions. Valid options are:
\n# panel_sensitive = 0 – Use the previous panel.
\n# panel_sensitive = 1 – Use the current panel (default).
\n# round_to = 0 – Round up to 3 significant digits (default).
\n# round_to = 1 – Do not round.<\/p>\nTo get the average element size for elements 1-200:<\/p>\n
