Change 3D Element Type using Optistruct


Updated by Altair Forum User
Hello Everybody,
I am trying to convert a shell to a solid, using aerospace optistruct porfile. After realizing all plies the instruction says the §D Element Types have to be converted from SC8R to SC6R. The problem I have is, that, in the element panel there is no SC8R type, but in the Help Document i is stated, that the shell to solid conversion is supported by optistruct solver.
Can anybody help me with this problem?
Kind regards in advance
