I have a question about order.

If I mesh my model as 2nd order, there was an error.

Therefore I mesh it as 1st order, then use change order form 1st to 2nd.

The jacobian is still 1.0, the model could be meshed 2nd order.

Is there any difference between the model meshed as 2nd order directly and the model changed 1st order to 2nd?
