Hello friends,

 

I would like to know if there is some automatic way to reduce total number of Trias in a model and change them in Quads.

 

Thanks and regards

    Depending to your geometry. When you choose quad/quad only, Hypermesh already minimize the number of trias.

    Sometimes, it's NOT possible to remove entirely trias. It's mathematical.

    try with: 2D>elem cleanup>reduce tria elems

    When active, this option attempts to combine trias into quads.  If you also enable elems failing QI check, the tria reduction will be tempered by the constraints on the resulting quads.
