Recently been playing around with using 2D automeshes, and then mapping the resulting meshes to mappable solids.
Before this, I was using volume tetrameshes on complete solids without having to split them up (required for mappability).
I am trying to assign the property (containing material properties) to the elements now, and I have done this in two ways:
1) assign the property to the component containing the mesh
2) assign the property to the elements directly.
It seems that the few CTRIA3 elements in the mesh did not like the property, however, and this is causing the analysis to crash before it even starts.
Attached are the model and the .out file that is obtained from trying this analysis.
Any thoughts?
