a) Check for mistakes in the assignment of the slidelines 
                        that can potentially stretch nodal connectivity in such 
                        a way as to significantly affect the frontwidth.
                      b) Try other frontwidth optimisers on the problem. 
                      c) Reduce the number of elements and/or, if using higher 
                        order elements, change to lower order
                      d) Use tied slidelines or constraint equations to abruptly 
                        change the mesh refinement away from the area of interest 
                        and, hence, decrease the number of elements
                      e) Use symmetry conditions where possible
