Mesh Quality
9 of 1031 Elements ( 0.9 % of elements) are poor quality elements
2 of 1031 Elements ( 0.2 % of elements) are poor quality elements because of the side length ratio
4 of 1031 Elements ( 0.4 % of elements) are poor quality elements because of the minimum interior
angle
5 of 1031 Elements ( 0.5 % of elements) are poor quality elements because of the maximum interior
angle
(elements can be of poor quality for more than one reason)
Mesh Quality Statistics
The worst element has (ratio = 10.18), (min angle = 5.63) (max angle = 126.69)

10.0% of elements have: (ratios > 1.7), (min angles < 34.2) (max angles > 92.3)
20.0% of elements have: (ratios > 1.6), (min angles < 38.5) (max angles > 86.5)
30.0% of elements have: (ratios > 1.5), (min angles < 40.9) (max angles > 82.3)
40.0% of elements have: (ratios > 1.4), (min angles < 43.1) (max angles > 79.2)
50.0% of elements have: (ratios > 1.4), (min angles < 45.3) (max angles > 76.2)
60.0% of elements have: (ratios > 1.3), (min angles < 47.4) (max angles > 73.5)
70.0% of elements have: (ratios > 1.2), (min angles < 49.6) (max angles > 71.3)
80.0% of elements have: (ratios > 1.2), (min angles < 51.3) (max angles > 69.1)
