Hello. I have a question. I don't know how to create a tria6 mesh on my surface. Can anyone give direction on how to do it? I can't find it in Automesh or any other option. Thank you so much.

    Hi vraeleragon,

     

    In Auto mesh keep the mesh type as trias, clik on the arrow next to 'First order' will convert it to 'second order',..

     

    now mesh your surface. This will create a second order mesh (i.e. Tria6).

    Thank you raviteja.p. That solved it. Sorry, I don't know anything about finite element method, the order or the node. I'm just trying out the software. Again thank you for your help.
