End Goal: To make a flexbody for MotionView

What I did?

Step 1: Import CAD (.stp) file in HyperWorks(Hypermesh Optistruct)

Step 2: Meshed the model ( Mesh -Tetra (size 100))

Step 3: Created RBE2 spiders (Model Tab - RBE2)

Step 4: Exported the Solver Deck (.fem file)

Step 5: Found out the id for the interface nodes by importing in old UI of Hypermesh (Panels - Tool -Numbers )

Step 6: Used Flexbody Prep of MotionView as shown in image below

Step 7: Got error

Step 8: Looked for possible solution and tried using PSOLID for CTETRA but couldn't find out the exact way.

Please help. I'm new to Hyperwork and Motionview.

Here are attached files.

    Properties can be assigned from the model ribbon with the Properties satellite button to either components or elements.

    They can also be assigned from the Component or part browsers by selecting a component and selecting a property in the entity editor.

    When I try to assign the property, nothing appears in my list.
