Numerical dosimetry is widely used to demonstrate compliancy to regulation. There are several possible approaches but whatever the method is, an appreciation of the numerical imperfections is required. We propose here a geometrical criterion on the finite element mesh. We used an academic benchmark to demonstrate the efficiency and the sensitivity of numerical methods to this criterion.
