To All:
thanks for your very usefull contributions. I made an opinion poll by our customers the european car makers, too. All are same opinion as above. I found out also other comparison literature in mean time.
Below is an adress about a very good comparison of all hexa and all tetra meshes...
Hello, do you have any information or experience about the validation and comparison of the first and second order tet element results? Some body are asserting, that the linear tets are affording more real values. It acts mainly for calculation of die casting aluminium parts.
Thanks! Femac
