Create Element

Mesh > Modify > Create Element

Description

This option is used to create Tri3/Quad4/Tet/Wedge/Hex Elements.

Example

The element is automatically created once the required number of nodes is selected.

Note:
  • For Higher order solid element (Tet10/Wedge15/Hex20) creation, user has to select only the corner nodes. The mid-nodes will be automatically created.
  • Undo is supported only for surface element creation.
  • When creating shell elements, If there are two bodies, and if we want to create elements to connect these two bodies, then this option takes any face having the selected node and creates element in that face. So this option may or may not create elements in the expected face. In such cases, use Geometry | Face | Create | Add Elem option.
