OOF: Finite Element Analysis of Microstructures
/adaptive_mesh/alpha_E
Synopsis
The weighting factor for the mesh energy function. Setting this term to 0 will tend to generate a mesh of equilateral triangles that are probably going to be heterogeneous. Setting this term to 1 will give homogeneous elements that are likely to be long and skinny or short and fat. Setting it to anything outside the range 0-1 is a bad idea.
