  Hi,
  Is there any reason that the elements' birth and death function cannot be applied to REINF 264 or REINF265 elements?
  Thank you

  No, the APDL element documentation clearly lists it as a Special Feature.

    Hi Dave,
    I am glad you confirmed it should work, but the problem is that it doesn’t. I can share an example case with you through the ANSYS Customer portal to see the problem. I'm worried that this might be a bug.
