Hi All:

I started to use ANSYS WorkBench (11.0). The simplified model was automatically generated with brick element (20 nodes).

The question is: "How can I reset or modify commands in order to obtain brick elements with 8 nodes only (not 20)?".

Thank you in advance.

Elkhorn.
 
Hi,
in the mesh controls, under "Advanced", just tell Workbench that you want "Midside Nodes -> Dropped".

Regards
