| - | First it’s important to understand exactly what differentiates linear elements from quadratic elements. The difference between basis order 1 (linear elements) and basis order 2 (quadratic elements) is how closely the elements conform to the geometry.

| This means fewer quadratic elements than linear elements are required to accurately represent the geometry in simulation. Quadratic elements are more computationally expensive, so start with a low resolution than if linear elements were used. | This means fewer quadratic elements than linear elements are required to accurately represent the geometry in simulation.
