Hello,
The display of the elements looks like if they were simple linear but, in
reality, the midnodes are over the originating geometrical entities. This is
just a rendering issue, necessary for efficiency.

Hi
I am new to GID.
How can I get a mesh with quadratic elements on a surface to
display with the midnodes in the correct position. The mesh looks
faceted. ie all the elements look flat
Best regards
