# defaultTargetEdgeLength

Default target edge length for mesh generation.

## Declaration

```swift
static let defaultTargetEdgeLength: Float
```

## Discussion

Discussion It is convenient to have the same target edge length for all shapes, since self-collision assumes similar edge lengths across the whole simulation.
