Hi Thomas,

thank you for your answer. I have managed to import a test mesh into Paraview 
and display its quality. Next I will study the information sources you and 
David gave me and try to understand what the "Quality" value means - I get 
values mostly near zero, going up to 14 for some cells.

Thanks,

Matthias

Betreff: Mesh quality

Hello,

there are some good papers by Knupp, who was involved in developing Cubit, and 
also others especially in the context of mesh quality improvement. In general 
it is pretty easy to asses mesh quality in Paraview. You just have to load the 
elements via a vtk file (just google for it and you will find a manual, it's 
basically self explaining) and use the the Filter Mesh Quality. If you have any 
questions, feel free to contact me!

Knupp 2000, Achieving finite element mesh quality via optimization of the 
Jacobian matrix norm and associated quantities. (There is a Part I and Part II 
paper)

Field 2000, Qualitative measures for initial meshes.

Best wishes,
