  Hello everyone.
  I'm simulating a solid object impacting a beam element mesh in LS-Dyna.
  I created the mesh in WORKBENCH and exported it to a K-file.
  I've set everything up, but when I run the calculation, I get the error:
  Why? The mesh was created for beam elements.
  Please help.

  Hello Javat,
  It seems the error might be due to missing cross-section properties. Please verify the Section card for the Beam element.
  
  Thanks,
  Vijay Sukka

    Please tell me where exactly I can do this? On which map?
