Reducing Mesh Sizes

Mesh subdivision is a method to reduce the number of mesh elements created / rendered, while still solving the correctly intended mesh.

For very large models (or at very small wavelengths) it is possible that CADFEKO or POSTFEKO cannot create / display the required mesh. This problem can be alleviated by creating a mesh of larger elements in CADFEKO and using the RM card in EDITFEKO to subdivide the mesh to obtain the correctly sized elements.

Note: The original mesh should use much larger elements than the desired mesh. If this is not the case, the subdivision may result in an unnecessary large number of elements.
