Hi Shahriar,

The LS-DYNA User’s Manual Vol. II (LSDYNA Manuals) indicates that this material card supports thick shell element types of 3, 5, and 7 and solid elements. Those specified elements types refer to the thick shell elements, not the solid elements. 

You are right that Solid Element Type 3 is not supported by this material card as I also got a similar error message using different solver versions. I tried other solid element types, and they worked properly with this material card. Are there any specific reasons you want to use Solid Element Type 3 for your model?

Thanks,

Pedram
