I have this model where the mesh statistics is like this:
Nodes - 568678
elements - 1748934
Can this happen? What could be the reason for that?
Hi,
Yes. Its possible. Especially when the mesh doesn't have midside node. You can check it under mesh section of analysis. There are three options for midside node;
Go to Mesh->Defaults->Element Midside Nodes-> Program Controlled/Dropped/Kept
If you dont have any element or node number limit problem, you should activate the midside nodes (Kept).
Best Regards...

if you also use tet it is possible because one of the node is shared by many elements so in that case the size of elements may increase and gets beyond node numbers.

you can use Oguzhan Yalcin answer or utilize lower-order element by using a command to define a definite element type.
