Hi, <\/p>\n

I’m contacting you because I have a few questions concerning the 2D axisymmetric simulations I’m currently running.<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, I’m generating meshes made up of quadrilaterals and in my simulation results, I notice that the type of element used is PLANE183. I’d like to find out more about these elements, in particular how many integrations points they use and whether they are configured in “reduced” or “full” mode.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m also wondering if it’s possible to change these settings so that the elements use a “full” number of integration points. I’d like to know if there are any methods or options for doing this.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, I’d also like to know if it’s possible to determine the type of element used before even starting the simulation. At the moment, I only know one way, which is to check in the solver output after running the simulation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you in advance for your help !<\/span><\/p>\n
