element error

Post by MusZip » Tue Sep 17, 2024 2:45 pm

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?

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.

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
