<p>The design area for a bead optimization must be a shell type of structure, that is, 
shell or plate elements. </p>
<p>The mesh should be uniform in element size. The element size should
be chosen such that six elements cover the wanted bead width. It is recommended
to use linear elements, but not necessary. </p>
