.. currentmodule:: apbs.input_file.calculate.finite_element
Note
This command has been ported to :func:`FiniteElement.a_priori_refinement`.
Specifies how the initial finite element mesh should be constructed (from refinement of a very coarse 8-tetrahedron mesh prior to the solve-estimate-refine iteration in :ref:`femanual` finite element calculations. The syntax is:
akeyPRE {key}where key is a text string that specifies the method used to guide initial refinement and takes one of the values:
unif- Uniform refinement
geom- Geometry-based refinement at molecular surfaces and charges
