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

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

 

Thankyou

Hello,

@tinh I tried to use 'quad only' but Hypermesh can not do it properly.

@Sanjay Nainani I tried to use your method but Hypermesh can only create a double TRIAS and not QUAD

 

So I find the way to make manually: add a node, create two lines, and delete 2 another lines. Could you please show me how to do it?

 

Thanks in advance,

Sure.

 

TO create nodes go to geom>>temp nodes long select the element edge you want the node on and place the node.

 

Then to create line go to geom>>lines>>linear nodes. and create the line by selecting the nodes.

but creating the line can be skipped as you only need nodes to create an element.

 

 

after making the nodes (4 for 4 corners of the QUAD) go to 2d>>edit element and create the element by selecting the 4 corners of the element.

 

Thankyou
