Meshing

[ananthaces]

I wanted certain nodes at certain location in my model so i went ahead and created nodes at these locations. But when i mesh the surface the nodes which i have created are not connected to any of the elements. Is there a way in femap to create elements such a way that the nodes are used to form elements. Thanks

ooopss..i found it out..got to go to the command
mesh>mesh control> mesh points on surface.

i have another question tho.if there are cirlces in my model how do i do an effective quad meshin insteadof tri.right now am gettin weird mesh around the curved region.Thanks.
