Quad to Tri

  The Quad to Tri option divides each quad element into two triangles. The diagonal edge will be placed so as to make the minimum internal angle as large as possible.

Method

  • Shells Only

    divides the quad elements only into triangle elements.

    • Shells

      specifies the shell elements to be converted.

  • Through Hexas

    splits the attached hexa elements into two prisms and propagates the split into the volume. This will result in a column of hexas split into prisms.

    • Split Face Nodes

      splits the face nodes of quad element. Select diagonally opposite nodes of the quad element.

Tip:  To speed the mesh refinement, turn off visibility of Mesh > Subsets in the Display Tree before applying the conversion.
