Hi Roman,

it's quite simple. Try this:

- go to Tools->delete (or take the button 'delete', red cross) , choose elems

- click the yellow button 'elems' and choose 'by conf'

- choose for config 'tria3' and your type of elements (maybe CTRIA3)

- press select entities ... all trias are selected (displayed or all)

- press delete entity

Regards,

Mario

PS:

You can mask the trias also. Go into the 'Mask' browser, Elements->2D->Tria3 and press the '1' for isolate. Now only trias are on the screen and you can delete them by displayed....

Hello,

 

You can try remeshing as @tinh said.

 

If the number of trias are very small. you can delete and create elements form 2d>>edit element
