Existing element not exported in Nastran

flyforever85

Hi all,

I've never had this problem before. I have a model with CTETRA elements, I'm exporting it in NASTRAN file (.dat) but not every element is actually exported (though in section Export I selected ALL). In the attached picture you can see the line where the CTETRA 26040 in the .dat file doesn't exist but it's clearly in the model (on the right)

 

Any Idea what's happening? A pressure is applied there and NASTRAN keeps giving the error that pressure is applied on a non-existent element

That looks like a CPENTA.

You're absolutely right. But still the .dat file doesn't have any CPENTA listed
