Hi,

i want to know if we have 2 meshes ,should the interface (shared surface have the same mesh ,i.e;mesh size )?

thanks

It's probably a good idea to have the same mesh 'size' at an interface to make the problem solution transition better at the interface. It's not absolutely necessary though. You also don't have to have the same type of mesh on either side of the interface. I regularly interface tets with hexes but try and keep the same general size of cell.
