Mesh entities are known as elements. Different element types are used to model different mesh types.
The three element types are as follows:
Mesh entities or elements can be assigned different properties according to their function. For example elements can be hot runners or cold runners, etc.
These dialogs are used to assign properties to mesh entities.
For Midplane and Dual Domain analysis technologies, structural analyses offer both shell and beam elements.
Beam elements are two-noded elements that are used to model the mesh associated with various model features.
Triangular elements are three-noded elements used to model Dual Domain and Midplane meshes.
Tetrahedral elements are four-noded elements that are used in 3D meshes.
