Element discretization order

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

What is the default discretization order of the elements in COMSOL?
And is there an option to increase or decrease this?

Any comments on this are appreciated, I have tried reading through manuals but have not found anything regarding this issue.

Hi, Francisco.

You can click the Show button and select Discretization to enable Discretization section on the physics interface settings window ( 2nd order is set by default). Also check out information in the Help about Discretization Node.
