ERROR [1036]: INVALID ELEMENT TYPE FOR NONLINEAR EXPLICIT TRANSIENT ANALYSIS.

Cause

This error is generated when the elements used in explicit dynamic analysis are not supported by the program.

Except for the higher-order tetrahedral elements, higher-order solid elements, plane strain elements, axisymmetric elements, higher-order plane stress/shell elements, rectangular surface elements and layered solid elements cannot be used in explicit dynamic analysis (nonlinear explicit transient).
