Mesh entities are known as elements. Different element types are used to model different mesh types.
The three element types are as follows:
- Beam elements are 2-noded elements, used for tasks like modeling cold runners and cooling channels.
- Triangle elements are 3-noded elements used to model Midplane or Dual Domain mesh types.
- Tetrahedral elements are 4-noded elements used to model the 3D mesh type.
