How to find a Quad with only 3 nodes under hypermesh

Altair Forum User

Hello,

I would like to know the method to detect a quad with only 3 nodes (instead of triangle definition)  that can create problem under another software like Ansys (shell181) : QUAD N : Node1 Node2 Node3 Node(1 or 3) for example 

thank you for your help

Hi,

if the quads have 2 nodes sharing same position, they will have minsize = 0, so please check F10>min length 0 (set calculation as 'shortest edge'), you will catch the quads
