Mask reversed element mark does not work?


Updated by Altair Forum User
Hi there,
I'm a bit confused. I was successfully using masked elements in my scripts for quite a while but now something is wrong. I created a new database in Abaqus template (see below). And executed the following code:
*createmark elements 1 6*createmark elements 1 reverse*maskentitymark elements 1 0SURPRISE: No (!) elements are displayed !?!
Can somebody please try and verify that I don't have a problem with my installation - thanks!
