Element Quality Check

Hello! 

I am running an analysis in Hyperworks for a cantilever beam. Whenever I run it, an error message with "Element Quality Check" would show up. I am assuming maybe this has to do with my meshing process? 

There was another question in the community forum about the same problem and they say that we can bypass the quality check process with "Goto Analysis>> Control Cards>>PARAM>>CHECKEL>>NO". However, I couldn't find PARAM in Control Cards.

Can anyone help with resolving this issue? The error message is attached below. Thanks!!!

    The below should help fix the quality problems:

    If you do want to turn off element check right clicking in the model browser should give you the following options:
