estimation of total number of elements in ANSYS mesher prior to meshing
 

Hey all,
Is there anyway that ANSYS mesher can give us an estimation of the total number of elements prior to actually meshing the whole domain?
My meshing takes hours!

Thanks,
Ali

with experience we can estimate .. or take 1/10 of your geometry and go do meshing and mesh according to original standards.. u will get a fair idea .. or take the whole geom and mesh with coarse mesh
