WARNING 10242 - Very small edge length encountered at cell <2d_cell_id>

Description

A very short cell edge was detected during mesh preprocessing. This typically indicates near duplicate nodes or a poorly formed element in the mesh and can affect numerical accuracy, stability and speed during the simulation.

Suggestions

Review the mesh near the flagged cell. The GIS messages output file shows the location of the short edge and can be used to identify the problem area. Check for duplicate or near duplicate nodes and regenerate the mesh with improved element quality.
