ACCEL Card Exporting Wrong?

Hi,

 

When I run optistruct static through Hypermesh and am using /ACCEL cards, I get the following error. I edit the card and assign a direction, however, it instead exports the 0.0 I have highlighted and bolded. Is there a reason for this? Seems like a bug. If I go into the .fem file and change the 0.0 to a Z myself, it works but I do not want to have to do this every time I run. Also, when I run my edited .fem, I am not able to see composite stresses by layer. Did I miss something?

 

*** See next message about line 25808 from file:
     H:/Hopper Car FINAL/Optimization Scheme 4 - New Plan 01-22-2020/6 Characteristic Panel Optimization/Panel 4 FEM Creation/HopperCarPanel4.fem

 *** ERROR # 4950 ***
 Components direction can only be 1/2/3 or X/Y/Z in bulk card ACCEL.

Attached is my .hm file and my personally edited .fem file.
