I have a problem with the second model of the tutorial "STKO E-Learning Course - Modeling a Reinforced Concrete Frame Structure (english webinar)", it gives me an error regarding the value of the concrete "Error: the fracture energy (Gf = 3) is too small or the characteristic length of the element (lch = 153.333) is too large.
The minimum Gf to avoid constitutive recoil is 0.0283"
problem with the tutorial

Re: problem with the tutorial
The error is clear:
You are using a mesh that is too large for the fracture energy in compression (Gc = 3).
In the original example it was a 100 mm mesh size, you are using instead 153

Re: problem with the tutorial
Where can you change the mesh size?
Re: problem with the tutorial
In the Mesh tab. using either the global mesh seed, or the edge seed. Please see the user manual
