When a mesh adaption step is complete, the CFX-Solver Manager reports the new meshing information, including the total number of vertices, elements and faces. The CFX-Solver then continues to determine a solution, using the adapted mesh.
The section for mesh refinement looks similar to the following:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+

Adaption step 2 of 3.
Number of elements initially marked for refinement: 480
Number of elements removed because:
They already meet the minimum length criteria: 0
They are in regions not marked for refinement: 0
They are already in the deepest refinement level: 0
There are not enough nodes available to refine them: -425

Target number of nodes at end of step: 1512
Number of vertices in the final mesh: 1999
Number of elements in the final mesh: 1560
