I'm trying to build an FEM mesh using the Tetrahedron Filler Mesh. Creating the surface mesh for the part is not a problem. Creating the Tet-mesh is also not a problem.
The problem arises when I go to Compute. I get an error saying "Acquisition of field model failed: Could not find property for 3D 3 node shell elemnt"
This looks to me like no shell elements were found for the surface mesh.
The problem is that I don't care about the surface mesh. It was only used to generate the Filler mesh, which is what I want to be using...
Am I missing something?

P.S. I'm using R12.
 
Never mind... figured it out...
Just had to Deactivate the surface mesh, and all is now well.
