Tetra mesh from trias with maximum size control

Hello,

 

I would like to tetra mesh my component from a 2D mesh of trias that already exists. The 2D mesh must remain constant as it has a load applied to it that cannot be changed.

The problem I am having is that the tetra mesh option 'fixed trias to tetra mesh' produces large size elements in the middle of the model.

I would like to constrain the maximum size of the 3D tetra mesh so its does not increase in size in this way.

 

Is this possible?

 

Thank you in advance

    switch to sub-panel 'tetramesh parameter' and change option from 'standard' to 'gradually'

    Thank you for your repsonses.

    I used the 'tetramesh parameter' as suggested by @tinh and set a maximum mesh size.

    This has worked well.

     

    Thanks
