The Size Dataset command is used to determine how far apart to space the mesh nodes when:

A size dataset defines the desired spacing of nodes in a spatial fashion. A scattered dataset provides the geometric basis for the size dataset, and a dataset on the scatter set provides the values for the size dataset. SMS redistributes the vertices on the boundaries of the polygon to match the underlying size dataset.
