Altair EmployeeSimLab, differently from HM, does not require to delete the shells once solid elements are created.
Once Solid elems are created, shells can still be selected (this is very practical for example to define contacts), but will not be exported and can not receive a property.
If you need both shells and solids, create a shell body on the outer faces. Use the option "duplicate and make shared faces".
