hello experts

I have a geometry with two surfaces ,I wanna have smaller elements on one of them than the other one, i put the number of 0.0001 in min size limit , curvature/proximity based refinement for the one which I wanna have smaller elements, and for the one with greater elements , I set it up in part mesh set up ( I created a separate part for this surface) then I put the number of 0.0004 in min size limit . after that I've set all tri , patch independent for shell surface and for volume meshing tetra/mixed and quick delaunay , in the result software made small elements on that surface which I put 0.0004 , and I dint want that , it seems ,the software ignored the number which I put in min size limit, part mesh setup , anyone knows whats goin on?

thanks for your precious help

Why don't you put a smaller max size to one of the sufaces ?

It is basically related to basic working of octree meshing.
