tri3 element error for Static 3D analysis type

JRPJRP
When I generate a mesh with quad4 elements I get some tri3 elements in the mesh. I try to tweak parameters, that there is as less as possible tri3 elements.
But I have an error that says that tri3 element is not supported by Static 3D analysis. What is the correct solution here? To change elements to tri6 and quad8?

    Yes, change to tri6 and quad8. Check Quadratic elements in the meshing parameters window or use Mesh tools -> Change element shape if it's an orphan mesh.

    Or you can use the CCX solver which allows them, but beware that accuracy can be poor.

    Ok. I thought so. Thanks for answer.
