Simply select quadratic elements

Hello Msonys:

To give you a little more details, here my suggestions:

(1) click 'Mesh' on Menu bar
(2) click 'Element type'
(3) in the 'Element type' dialog box,
select 'Quadratic' in the 'Geometric order'.

You may also pay attention on 'Element controls' section.

Hope this will help.

camarade.
