      Minimum voxel size is the estimated voxel size that can safely run without the simulation risking failure due to insufficient memory. Currently, minimum voxel size assumes a minimum overhang angle of 45 degrees and a minimum support height of zero. A smaller angle could result in more support voxels and a minimum support height > 0 will include more support voxels. In both of these cases, memory requirements will increase and a larger voxel size might be required for a successful simulation.
