Hi, everyone.
I'm trying to use STKO to simulate a pull-out test of a grouting sleeve, and I had built a simple model, but ran into some issues.
1. The following issue occurs when running,I don't actually know why this happen.
2.The model is mainly composed of a sleeve, grout and steel bars, of which the steel bars use fiber element, the grouting material uses solid element and the sleeve uses shell element, Is this setting reasonable?
3.How should I consider the bonding performance between the sleeve and the grouting material?
Looking forward to your reply!

Did you read the error message (the bold red one)?

The element property requires an hexa mesh with 8 nodes, but you assigned this property to a mesh made with 27 nodes.
Just assign a mesh control to the solids set to Quad/Hexa - Structured - Linear
