Hi Ted,

A minor adjustment to the input deck is necessary. You need to change the
line
*ELEMENT, TYPE=C3D8
to
*ELEMENT, TYPE=C3D8, ELSET=EB1
The "ELSET=EBxxx" tag give the hex's a material ID. This is a tag expected
by the (terribly basic and unintelligent) program. Something to change in
the future.
