  Hello,
  I am modelling a simple duct in CFX, and i am trying to set the element order in the mesh as Program Controlled or Quadratic. However, every time when i check the number of nodes in CFX-Post or CFX-Solver the number always remains the same, equal to the one that corresponds to Linear Element order. How can i maintain the Element order i chose in the meshing step ?

  So you have an issue with which Meshing software? Can you show the mesh in the software and in CFX?

  In the pictures you can see that even though i generate a mesh with 51377 nodes in CFX Pre's Mesh Statistics there are 13338 nodes, for the same number of elements.

  But the number of the elements is correct and that is what it really matters.
