> the new local mesh size option says, that the global mesh size overrides the local mesh size. Should it not be the other way round? How can i make a global course mesh and a refinement in a radius?

It’s just about the global mesh size limit (max and min values). Check this: [Mesh refinement problem - #2 by Matej](https://prepomax.discourse.group/t/mesh-refinement-problem/35/2)

But keep in mind that Gmsh may work differently.
