There are many mesh improvement tools available in ANSA. The Split tool is one of them. In ANSA GUI, the Split option can be found under ELEMENTS in the MESH deck. (Refer below image)
The Split command is used to divide a Quad element into two Tria or Quad elements.
Let's understand these methods with examples.
This method uses two nodes to split one Quad element into two Tria elements. Refer to the below Image for an explanation.G
Image 2: Split by Nodes demonstration
Let’s take another example and see how Split by Nodes option can be used to eliminate Quad elements. Refer to the below image for an explanation.

Important:
This method uses Edge to split one Quad element into two Quad elements. Refer to the below Image for an explanation.

Note:
Image 5: Split by Edges demonstration
This method is a combination of the above methods. It uses two nodes to split one Quad element into two Tria elements followed by the splitting of Edge. Refer to the below image for explanation.
Image 6: Split by both Nodes and Edges demonstration
Let’s take another example and see how the Split by Nodes and Edges option can be used to eliminate Rotating Quad and Tria elements. Refer to below image for an explanation.

The Reynolds number represents the ratio of inertial to viscous forces and is a convenient parameter for predicting whether a flow condition will be laminar or turbulent. It is defined as the product of the characteristic length and the characteristic velocity divided by the kinematic viscosity.
