Maximum Corner Angle

The Maximum Corner Angle metric states the maximum angle between adjacent edges and is computed using corner node positions in 3-D space. (Midside nodes, if any, are ignored.) For example, the best possible maximum corner angle for a triangle occurs for an equilateral triangle and is 60°. The best possible maximum corner angle for a quadrilateral occurs for a flat rectangle and is 90°. The images compare Maximum Corner Angle for ideal and non-ideal triangles and quadrilaterals, respectively.
