The process of creating and editing a finite element mesh can result in [[SMS:Mesh_Quality|poor quality elements]]. These elements may have poor interior angles or may violate the area change guideline for adjacent elements. The Relax command from the [[SMS:2D Mesh Elements Menu|Elements menu]] can improve adjacent element areas and interior angles by moving nodes. This command moves nodes to improve the elements shape. Several options are available. Relaxation is an iterative process. The number of iterations performed and other options are specified in the [[SMS:Mesh_Element_Options|Element Options dialog]]. If no elements are selected, then the relaxation is performed on all elements in the mesh.
