This seems to be a formating problem? .. but it interprets it correctly - so it seems to me..

thats the mistake. There is no property assigned to some elements (PID = 0).

 

if you have elements that are 'unused' i think you need to delete them. all elements need a proeprty (linked to a material data, ...) assigned.

Swapnil,

 

Make sure you have assigned the compatible property to the elements. In your case PSOLID should be assigned to CTETRA elements.

dear bro how and where we can assign the PSOLID to CTETRA elements?

Hi Waqas,

 

Organize solid elements into a component and assign PSOLID property to the same.
