I just finished 2D meshing a large model with 200 parts ... many are tied together with edge ties. Now I run Mesh Quality and have 385 INVALID elements out of 85,000 or so. I did a show only and Apex shows me those bad guys. Most are slivers. I would like to just dragbox and delete all those elements. But that deletes the entire mesh on that part. So then I tried using the cascade menu to select finite elements. I can select them, but I cannot delete them. Then I tried moving some nodes that were a tiny distance away from each other, but APEX won't let me do that because they are on an edge tie. What to do to get rid of these pesky little bad elements?
There is no way to delete the specific elements. The element quality can be improved by using manual techniques as you mentioned above if the automatic mesh enhancements option does not produce a quality mesh.
