Hi everyone, I'm running a composite analysis using the property PCOMPP. I get the following error

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>image.thumb.png.54b10d5e90c2e0f90623111691486ea3.png

 

I have checked many times that the property is defined and assigned properly, anyone has any ideas on how to solve this? I have attached the .hm file for you to check.

    Please change the element type to CQUAD4 using (2d:Element type)

    Currently you have CSHEAR element in your model.

    Great, that solved the error.

    Can you please shortly explain what is the difference between both element types ?

    Thanks in advance
