Introduction

Making a good mesh

There is no unified manual for good mesh creation.

There are only some guidelines:

Physical Phenomena (Structural Mechanics, Fluid Dynamics) - 

A good mesh must resolve the physics to be studied.

The meshing software doesn't know the physics; it's up to you to know it. 

Spending a lot of time for refining the mesh size, and using their meshing software's validation tools, will not guarantee that the mesh is right for the physics problem you're trying to simulate.

Automatic meshing software can do a good job for beginners.

Advanced meshing tools provide a high level of control, and can be very powerful - in the right hands.
