Quad vs Tri Elements Explained | Element Types in Meshing | ANSYS 2D Meshing Masterclass (Part 2)

Welcome to Episode 2 of the ANSYS 2D Meshing Masterclass (Beginner → Advanced). In today’s session, we cover one of the most important fundamentals in FEA meshing — the different element types used in 2D meshing: Quad, Tri, and Quad-Dominant elements.

You will learn:
✔ What are Quad Elements?
✔ What are Triangular Elements?
✔ Quad vs Tri — advantages, limitations & use cases
✔ What is a Quad-Dominant mesh?
✔ When to use each element type in real FEA problems
✔ Impact on accuracy, convergence, and computational cost
✔ Practical recommendations for beginners & advanced users

This episode builds the foundation for understanding mesh quality, element shape metrics, and future topics in this masterclass.
