second-order mesh

Does Mecway support so-called second-order mesh?

  • I assume you mean second order elements, such as tet10 and hex20? You used these in your EVA pad model.

    To get them:

    If you're importing STEP file, choose Quadratic elements (with midside nodes) in the Meshing parameters.

    If you're making the mesh directly, use Mesh tools -> Change element shape to change from tet4 to tet10 or hex8 to hex20, etc.
  • Thank you, Victor. I am confused about the terminologies used in different FEA tools. Yes, I was referring to elements with midside nodes such asTet10, Hex8, etc.
