How can i verify if my tet elements are linear or quadratic on FEMAP ? Thanks in advance everyone
 
TET4 are linear (4 nodes per element)
TET10 are quadratic (10 nodes per element)

when you "list" an element you can see the number of nodes.

To figure out a specific element @rb1957 is correct.

An additional way to get a quick understanding is too look in the Model Info Tree under Element Type / Shape. It will label the Linear/Parabolic or 4-noded/10-noded.
