Confirmation for high element count mesh prior to generating mesh

Confirmation for high element count mesh prior to generating mesh

With the new automatic sizing mesh tool, there are times where it may create much smaller element sizes than expected, resulting in very high element counts.

 

I am proposing adding a warning message or dialog with a very broad estimate of ranges for the default "1" refinement option. This would give the analyst an idea for 1.) how long the meshing alone may take, and 2.) if she/he should increase or decrease the scale factor for it before the first mesh.

 

Understanding the difficulty with being able to write out an exact count, Synergy already analyzes the overall dimensions and curvature of the CAD model during import (from my understanding), so is it possible to give something like a red/yellow/green light on element count (ex. green ranges between 1-700,000 elements; yellow ranges between 700,001-3,000,000 elements; and red anything above 3,000,001 elements)?

** Ideally, this would be great for both part/insert meshing and mold meshing Smiley Wink
