      Hello Seckin,


      From element documentation for FLUID220 and FLUID221 in ANSYS help, you can see that FLUID220 is a 20-node hex where as FLUID221 is a 10-node tet.


       


      This error means that you are trying to switch a tet (SOLID187) to a hex (FLUID220).


      Please check what kind of elements the body contains. If it contains only tets, change et,matid,220 to et,matid,221


      Hope this helps.


      Best regards,


      Rohith
