Geometry Fidelity

Geometry Fidelity ensures the nodes of the mesh lie on the scoped geometry including midside nodes for quadratic elements. Geometry Fidelity adds constraint on the mesh which cause deterioration in quality in some situations due to the forced projection. In such cases, you should refine the mesh at the same locations with local size control.
