Identifying 'bad' element?

[qwicker]

Hi all,

I have an analysis running which seems to be getting stuck on 1 particular element. The output indicates "1 U-P ELEMENTS DO NOT SATISFY THE VOLUMETRIC COMPATIBILITY"
I am not so much concerned about the message because I encounter it all the time with hyperelastics. However, is there a way to identify which element it is? I could then go back and check it or change the material to a linear model for just one element.

Thanks

Hi

Use the NLDIAG to set the criteria, after solving use the NLDPOST to get these elements in a component.

Unfortunately I am running a distributed analysis which does not support the NLDIAG feature. It's a shame.
