HeuristicSearchLength implements a mesh dependent criterion for searching mesh nodes near a geometry. For this purpose it computes the average $\mu$ and the standard deviation $\sigma$ of edge length or node distance of mesh elements. The search length is set to $\mu-2\sigma$ . This strategy is useful for meshes with different sizes of elements.
