Hi. When I use these quadratic elements with modal analysis ANSYS seems to ignore he midside nodes and produces the same frequencies and modeshapes as it does with the linear elements.
I've seen this with tet, pyramid and prism. Hex is a bit different but the quadratic ones still don't deflect the midside nodes properly in the solution.
Is there a special setting I need to make?
