Hello, the .ixt format is for importing meshes. The macroelements shown in ATENA 3D are only groups of the imported finite elements (for setting Activities easier), and can not be used for mesh generation. Therefore, if you are using .ixt import, change the mesh settings in the program which you are using to generate the mesh and create the .ixt file.

Hello,
if have a mesh generation problem with the macroelents imported from .ixt files.
When pressing the button Generate in the FE mesh menu I get the Information:
CCFEMModelGenerateEXC: T3D generator error:10

How can i force the program to use the T3D mesh generator for my .ixt imported element?

Is there a possibility to set mesh options in the .ixt file?
