Hello J.,
 
I have found the easiest way to change the mesh resolution in gmsh is the 
following:
 
1) open the associated ".geo" file:
           a) using gmsh - Modules->Geometry->Edit file
                           - If gmsh cannot find the editor you may need to 
configure Tools->Options->General->Advanced
           b) or using a text editor
2) edit the scaling parameter in the point definition:
                           for example if the point is defined as "Point(1) = 
{1, 1, 1, 0.1};", 
                                        - the value in parenthesis is the 
"point id" 
                                        - the first 3 values in braces are the 
coordinates 
                                    - the last value in braces is the mesh 
resolution at the point
3) reload the geometry:   Modules->Geometry->Reload
4) mesh
 
hope this helps.
 
there may also be a gui only way.
 
Dave

Hi, I have a very small mesh of 2cm x 1cm (2D) and I have a problem optimising 
the cell sizes in Gmsh. At this point I do it by hand with trial and error and 
also I saw that the triangulation algorithm affects my results. For example if 
I select Frontal I get quite different results.
Could you please kindly suggest me any settings that could balance precision 
and performance for such a small size?
Moreover, is there any auto optimisation tool that could help selecting the 
optimum cell sizes?
Thank you very much!
Kind regards,
J.
