The `quality' of a mesh can be assessed using several element quality metrics available in CUBIT. Information about the CUBIT quality metrics can be obtained from the command

Quality Describe {Hex | Hexahedral | Tet | Tetrahedral | Face | Quad | Quadrilateral | Tri | Triangular}

which gives data on the quality metrics for each of the above element types. The following pages discuss the mesh quality assessment capabilities in CUBIT.
