Dears,

I am getting User Warning Message 5276 "ELEMENT 2055575 HAS TOO MUCH CURVATURE AND MAY YIELD POOR ANSWERS", The tolerance may be adjusted with Q8T6_ANG keyword on the NASTRAN statement.

The analysis job is not completed after the number of warnings exceeds a certain number.
How the Q8T6_ANG key word be specified on the NASTRAN statement? In NASTRAN User Guide, the skew angle specified is less than 30 degrees, the message is issued.
Do I need to specify the allowable skew angle with the key word like, Q8T6_ANG = 10
I appreciate the help with the input file having the statement.
