We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

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
