Creates solid elements between two groups of plate elements.

mark1: The ID of the mark containing the first group of plate elements.
mark2: The ID of the mark containing the second group of plate elements.
align1: The ID of the node to be used as an alignment node for the first group of elements.
align2: The ID of the node to be used as an alignment node for the first group of elements.
align3: The ID of the node to be used as an alignment node for the first group of elements.
align4: The ID of the node to be used as an alignment node for the second group of elements.
align5: The ID of the node to be used as an alignment node for the second group of elements.
align6: The ID of the node to be used as an alignment node for the second group of elements.
number: The number of solid elements to be created between the two groups of plate elements.
biasstyle: The type of biasing to use.
biasing: The biasing factor for the mesh.

To create 8 solids between plates 10, 11, 12, 13 and 20, 21, 22, 23, with alignment node 1 being node 5 and alignment node 2 being node 6:

*createmark(element,1) 10 11 12 13
*createmark(element,2) 20 21 22 23
*linearsolids(1,2,5,0,0,6,0,0,8)

*createmark() is required and the marks used must contain plate elements.

None.
