I have a component of faces consisting of tri elements. I wish to convert part of this component to quad however I do not have the underlying CAD geometry. Is this possible in hyperworks2020?
Panel 2D => edit element => combine => combine to quad
thats ok for manual conversion on each element but for a complete mesh there appears to be no option.
No, with panel "elems" you can choice whatever you want to combine.
Try my script in attachment (proof of concept):
