RE: How to do a volumne sweep of element type solsh190
1) the volume to sweep must be "extrudable"
2) Set meshing parameters:
mshkey,2
mshape,0,3d
3) Select Volumes you want to sweep (VSEL,...)
4) Mesh: VSWEEP,ALL
I have never used the solsh190 elements, but I don't see any reason for not working with vseep...

Here's a quick example if you still need one:
finish
/clear
/prep7
blc4,0,0,1,1,.125
et,1,190
lsel,s,loc,z,.01,.124
lesize,all,,,1
vsweep,all
/view,1,1,1,1
eplo
If your geometry is complex, you may need to do some slicing and dicing to get it to work.
Hope this helps,
