Taper¶
Taper mesh quality criterion represents the ratio of the areas of two triangles separated by a diagonal within a quadrilateral face.
**JA = 0.25 * (A1 + A2 + A3 + A4)**
**TAPER = MAX(|A1/JA - 1|, |A2/JA - 1|, |A3/JA - 1|, |A4/JA - 1|)**
To apply the Taper quality criterion to your mesh:
Display your mesh in the viewer.
Choose Controls > Face Controls > Taper or click “Taper” button in the toolbar.
Your mesh will be displayed in the viewer with its elements colored according to the applied mesh quality control criterion:
