    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
