Hi AlejandroFN

There is not much you can do sticking only with PyDPF.  Solid97 element type was 'undocumented' at version 17 so...8 major releases ago.  While PyDPF is very new and open source.  Meaning that it's result file reader is new.  So the only PyDPF fix is to request a feature creation on the PyDPF GitHub site, which you have done.  But I'd suggest that you also make a better case as to why the PyDPF developers should take this on.  You are kind of in a tough spot asking them to develop new functionality for an MAPDL feature that does not exist anymore (from a developers perspective).  Have you considered using an supported element type like solid236?  

You may want to try the PyMAPDL Reader instead of PyDPF.

Alternatively you can use PyMAPDL.
