Question about Brick element

Post by reza378salami »

Hi vesna,
I want to use Brick8N_u_p_U in my model with one of the nDMaterials, but it seems that this element is not working in the latest version (is it removed?). Do you know which version supports u_p_U elements? Here is my code.
Thank you.

model basicBuilder -ndm 3 -ndf 7
