Coarsening Levels and what they Mean

Coarsening Levels, and what they mean

Off This is the default state. No coarsening takes place and the original mesh is used. Mild Coarsening takes place to a reasonable degree, usually with only mild visual artefacts appearing. Typical speed-ups of the order of 40% - 50% Severe More aggressive coarsening is used, usually with significant visual artefacts, however larger models can double in speed or better. Custom Allows user control over all the coarsening parameters.

Mild coarsening is the recommended level for most models, as it tends to give the best trade-off between speed and image quality.
