Hello Rishav,
The Solid 45 element is an archived feature for the version 2023 R2, it might also be archived for the version you're referring to.
Solid 186 is an improved version of Solid 45 which has a higher order, I recommend using Solid 186 over Solid 45 to capture better results.
For more details please check-
