I am trying to make an axisymmetric mesh of a cylinder shape, very simple.I have the revolving section of the cylinder. Does anyone know how do you mesh that surface with axysimmetric elements like CQUADX4, 8 or CTRIAX3 or 6? Because i can fin these elements in the help manual describing their functions but i don;t see anywhere in the help where exactly in the preprocessing part you can find them. I spent a lot of time looking for them and i must say that they do not exist in the preprocessor. Indeed you can create a SOL 101 Axysimmetric solution but it does not help you , normal CQUAD and CTRIA elements are not appliable for this axysimmetric solution.

Am i doing something wrong?
Am i looking in the wrong place?
I have searched NX up and down in every menu, these type of elements are not available.

Is this a bug or ???
