Review Element Quality

Use the Element Quality view to review element quality while simultaneously editing your model.

The Element Quality view is automatically enabled when certain Mesh tools are active. To manually enable the Element Quality view, from the view controls (bottom, left of the modeling window), click and select Element Quality.

When the Element Quality view is enabled, elements are colored based on their quality, which is defined by the 2D element criteria settings. A legend displays in the top, left of the modeling window to assist you in evaluating the element quality. A summary of the model's Compound QI and number/percentage of failed elements is also displayed under the legend.
