MINDIM/MAXDIM

Tim_22430

Hello everyone,

 

Can somebody tell me, how MINDIM / MAXDIM works?

My question is, if the averaging is a cycle around the middle of an element, or if it is around a corner of an element?

Also, I like to know, how the punishment of other elements works, if the structures are too big / small?

 

Thanks,

Tim
