Element Length over Next is used to obtain a gradually changing  element size within a layer if Uniform Meshing is unchecked  obviously this option is only  valid if the   of mesh layers is 2 or larger      5 3 Vertical Meshing    The meshing in the vertical direction is controlled by the following parameters  Tab Vertical  Meshing  Figure 5 1c      This section defines the soil profile  layering  along the vertical direction starting from the  ground surface downwards  looking at the side view from the top downwards  Height   thickness  of each soil layer is defined in the left column  Number of mesh elements in each  defined is specified in the column    Number of Mesh Layers     at least equal to 1 to define a soil  profile consisting of a single type of soil   Height  thickness  of this layer must be equal to the  entire soil stratum height  Note that the number of mesh layers in the upper zone  where the pile  foundation is embedded  will automatically define the number of beam column elements of this  pile  below ground surface   As such  it is generally advisable to select an adequate number of    46    mesh layers in this zone  Note  If there is any error during mesh generation  please follow the  error message instructions to adjust the controlling parameters and then try again     Note  Element size is a parameter that affects frequency content of the ground response  Smaller  size elements  particularly along the soil domain height   will permit higher frequencies
