Set the top and bottom nodes of the 2D element to set the total domain and define the mesh size by entering the mesh size directly or the number of divisions between nodes. The number of top nodes and bottom nodes must be the same and the selected nodes are assigned a number in order. The same numbered nodes correspond and generate a 2D element. To reverse the corresponding order, use the [Reverse Ends] option.

The shape of the 2D element can be selected from a triangle or a quadrilateral in advanced options ( ).
