Cutting by number of elements

This type of cutting can be applied to each edge or face of a part.

In the case of an edge, a geometric sequence can be specified.  By avoiding the risk of constraints concentrating on the wrong elements, this option can be expedient when shifting gradually from one size of elements to another.

In this case, the geometric sequence has not been used.   Its value is therefore equal to one.   The gap between each successive node on this edge is therefore constant.

In this particular case, a value of 1.2 has been entered for the geometric ratio.  The change in the distance between the successive nodes of the refined edge can thus be clearly seen.
