An oversized mesh element is a triangle with an edge length larger that the specified
maximum edge length. Oversized mesh elements can lead to reduced accuracy in the
results.
Select the model or geometry part either in the model tree
or 3D view.
On the Mesh tab, in the
Find group, click the Oversized Elements icon.
