Is there a way to set the number of integration points or change the element type (reduced or fully integrated) in Mechanical? It appears that mechanical automatically creates 3 integration points and reduced integration Shell 281 elements when you use a quadratic mesh on a shell element. All the examples I found online use APDL commands, but is there a way to do it through the mechanical interface? I'm looking to make 5 points through the thickness.
