It took 6 hours to get the initial setting completed. After addressing some of the meshing issues, finally stuck up with an error for past two days.
Error: Can not get Material ID in database!
Skipped the rest.
Analysis type : MES with Nonlinear Materials Models
Number of part : 5 (3 brick element type & 2 tetrahedron element type)
I had to do tetrahedron for 2 parts due to the meshing issue. Critical interface in the part geomentry is bit complicated and I couldn't get it meshed with brick element type.
This is an inventor imported model. Material properties were already defined in the model. Initially I thought that was the problem. I even overwrite the material by choosing one in the simulation material library. But still the error does not go away. Any advice to overcome this error is highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Madhan,
I've seen this happen before with another customer; one thing that you can try is to expand the part in the tree view, and then right click on Element Definition and select "Edit Element Definition". Do not make any changes and click "OK" to close out of the Element Definition dialogue box. Attempt to run your simulation again.

Andrew,
Thanks for your quick response
I changed all the element type of all five parts to tetrahedran for consistency purpose and followed your instructions. It seem to be worked. But there is a new issue 'ARUN4.EXE Built for x64 has stopped working'. Not sure if this is related to the same or entirely a new problem.
Thanks,
Madhan
Could you share your original model (3 brick parts, 2 TET parts)? We can investigate the issue.
