Mesh refinement and the errors.
 

I think it's not opaque behaviour of mesh refiner in the situation of the error. There is an example below.

As you could see I should find mesh1.res file. Instead I've got 060_002.res.err file.

Refiner 10.0 [2005.07.08-23.00]

Adaption step 1 of 1.

30929 prismatic stacks have been identified in the original mesh.

Maximum height = 9

Minimum height = 9

Marking elements for coarsening and refinement: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Number of elements initially marked for refinement: 664982 Number of elements removed because: They already meet the minimum length criteria: -664982

************************************************** **************************** WARNING: No refinement will take place because all the cells already

satisfy or exceed your minimum edge length criteria. Did

you mean to set these so high? ************************************************** ****************************

ERROR: This mesh has not be refined previously so the refiner is unable

to refine or coarsen it.
