/BRIC20 - 3D Solid Elements (20 Node Brick Elements)

Describes 3D solid elements (20 Node Brick Elements). This quadratic element should be used with the property /PROP/SOLID.

1.	The identifier (ID) must be unique in each element family, but it is advised for each element type to have a unique element identifier in the global model.

2.	The 20 node brick elements must have a different identifier one from each other.

3.	The 20 node brick elements are treated internally as solid elements (bric_ID), using solid materials and solid groups (grbric_ID).

4.	If nodes 9 to 20 are set to zero, a linear behavior is assumed on the corresponding edge.
