While I try to run a linear static analysis on the model ( https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OqQDTZ1Jy7B-Rekh6HDLXdgLFCLsch0R/view?usp=sharing ) , I'm getting the following error message: "Error 61: No elements found in input data". I ran modelchecker on the model and everything was fine. Could someone please help with this?

    For some reason the element type for the tets is not CTETRA

    Can you go to 3d panel-->element type

    Make sure you have CTETRA for tetra4, then select all the elements and click update.

    You should be all set. I did try it and it runs successfully with OptiStruct after that.
