Abstract: The new strategy for non-uniform initial FE mesh generation is presented in this paper. The main focus is set to a priori procedures that define the sizing function independent on the mesh generation algorithm. The sizing function used by the mesh generation algorithm is established by control sphere and control space concepts and fully controls mesh gradation in the complex 2D problem domains.

Keywords: mesh generation, element size, control space
