Missing property error
Hey,
I had a doubt regarding optistruct analysis. I am new to hypermesh and was trying to solve the student race car problem provided by the Altair to gain hands-on experience. I followed all the steps provided in the tutorials. For this problem, I am using CBAR element type for 1D-line meshing and property card image was set to PBEAML. I am getting the following error message:
*** ERROR 14: Missing property # 1 referenced by CBAR # 200.
*** Errors with missing, incorrect or duplicate IDs found 372 times.
I am attaching the .fem file that I created for setting up this problem.
Any answers in this area is highly appreciated.

I looked at your model, 1D elements are defined as CBAR elements, but you give a PBEAML property. Try to use a PBARL property instead, or to use CBEAM elements if you really want to use PBEAML property. But here because cross-section are tube, you can use CBAR elements.
To understand the difference between CBAR and CBEAM (which are both 'beams' elements from a mechanical point of view, compared to CROD which is only a 'bar' i.e only see tensile/compressive) please read https://altairuniversity.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1D_Elements_Extract.pdf
