Creating adhesive brick elements

Hello,

 

I need a help with procedure please.?

 

I am able to create the adhesive brick elements mesh using optistruct (3D - connectors - area - 'constant thickness' as Hexathickness - type 'adhesives' ) in student version (Hypermesh 2019) (as in the image).

But in Radioss ( Block format 140) (Hypermesh 2017.2), the same process is not working.  While using the same procedure, I get the surface connector (as below) without thickness (even while creating through: 3D - connectors - area - 'adhesive(contact)' as type). But I would like to create the brick elements.

Also, I would like to do hexa positioning it with 'mid thickness' option and I couldn't change the 'shell gap' option to the 'mid thickness' with the drop down (as shown in the highlighted below).

Could anyone please tell me if it is possible and also how to create it in the Radioss.?

 

Thanks in advance!
