      Yes. The mixed u-P formulation is available in SOLID285 and in most other current-technology elements where KEYOPT(6) > 0, such as: PLANE182, PLANE183, SOLID185, SOLID186, SOLID187, SOLSH190, SOLID272, and SOLID273. Additional details can be found in the ANSYS documentation: Mechanical APDL > Element Reference > 5. Elements for Stress Analysis > 5.1 Continuum Stress Elements > 5.1.3 Mixed u-P formulation
