  ''The mesh doesn't contain any shell elements this may be because the model is not compatible with section data provided''
  I saw the other discussions regarding this problem however they had the problem while trying to export files from ACP to structure static or some other systems while for me it appeared right after I finished the meshing, what should I do?
  Thank you.

  nnMake sure you have a shell(surface) geometry in DM. If you have solid geometry, you will get this errornYou need a surface geometry in DM, which will be meshed with shells. In ACP, we can import the shell mesh, define layers and build the solid mesh in ACPn
