I have already changed the mesh element order to 'linear' and i have checked that the solids are SOLID185, please see both snippets below.

Can i take it that the command snippet below is correct.
et,matid,185
keyopt,_sid,2,3

If so should the snippet be inserted into the tree with the boundary conditions, or do i need to add it to each solid in the geometry tree?
Thanks Michael
