Is there a location for text commands that can be used to check geometry features (i.e skewness, cell size) or controls to adjust meshing?

Thanks

Lift the bar at the bottom of the graphics window to see the transcript window.

You can type text commands there, but there aren't too many that are useful to help with meshing in addition to what is in the GUI.

You can type:

"mesh.getQualityRange()" to get the maximum equisize skewness in the domain after the case has been meshed.

"geom.modifySettings(simplifyLargeAngle=20.0) if typed before meshing and with cleanup on will merge adjacent faces that are almost parallel (angle difference less than 20 degrees) as part of the cleanup and meshing process. I'd suggest to only do that if meshing is failing otherwise.

Other text commands for meshing exist, but they don't really add to what the automated meshing invoked from the GUI is already doing.
