Hello,
Altough I make a simple beam model with a solid element "stdbrick with 8 nodes", I can not achieve to run it.
I received an error as:
"invalid type of element or numbers of nodes"
which step did I made a wrong definition at?
best wishing

Re: element error
Furthermore, I can not also explain the number of elements because it is obtained as 18.
However, I define element type "stdbrick with 8 nodes" and the division number only "one" for the entire solid element. Thus, I expect to be obtained as only one element.
how must I make a comment for this situation?
for now thanks you for your support.

Best wishings,
Re: element error
You made a shell (surfaces connected to each-other): a closed and empty shell, not a volume!
Use the parallelepiped command to make a solid, and when you mesh it, make sure to assign Hexa-Structured in the Mesh Controls
