Welcome to the “Element Types, Meshing and the Importance of a Converged Mesh” section. This video covers Mesh refinement. Being able to utilize the various element types will add a useful skillset to when performing finite element analysis, while knowing the options available to you in regards to meshing can make for a more efficient model. Finally, knowing how to obtain a converged mesh is important for accuracy of the solution.
By the end of the course, you should be able to:
Know when and how to leverage various element types.
Have an understanding of element order.
Know how to review and impact the element quality.
Know how to control the global mesh size of your geometry.
Know how to adjust the mesh refinement locally.
Understand what a converged mesh means and know why it matters.

Hello.
How do you define the number of elements through the thickness?

This video seems to be an exercise on how to make short story long. And does not help in how to interpret the results.😴
