On the right side of the dialogue the information about minimum and maximum cells size, number of cells in each direction, and total number of cells in the project can be found. Additionally, the estimation of the size of RAM memory, required for running the simulation, is given.

In the Cell Size Step frame the user can introduce maximal accepted cell size step between adjacent cells and the information is displayed in the Info column. After changing cell size step, the information refresh may be needed and can be done using Refresh button.

The Geometry… button invokes XYZ dialogue for viewing exact coordinates of a particular point (at the mouse cursor position).
