number of elements in a meshcontrol

Hi,

I have a question about the number of mesh elements used in a calculation with a meshcontrol.

In a part there is a mesh and a meshcontrol and when I list the details of the mesh is see 22580 mesh elements.

Then I divide the meshcontrol by 2 and when I list the meshdetails again, the number doesn't change.

Is this normal? So when I ask for the meshdetails (right click on Mesh), is this just the number of elements of

the general mesh. And when this is so, where can i find the number of elements in the mesh control?

thx,

Theo
