STAAAD Physical - Error

Question

Hi Bentley Team, 
 
 I am in the process of modeling a steel structure with some steel hoppers. Running Integrity Check and Analysis Model show no issue with no error in the model. But when I want to move to Analytical Modeling, the following message appears and it stops proceeding to analytical model. What is missing here? Again, there is no issue in the model; in fact I was successful to get to the analytical model once and not any more! Thanks.

Try this: 
 1) Open that model in the Physical Modeler; 
 2) Go to File -> Options -> Analysis model and change the Mesh type to Triangular; 
 3) Transfer the model to the Analytical Modeler (it should work fine); 
 4) Now open the model in the Physical Modeler again and this time change the Mesh type back to Quadrangular; 
 5) Transfer the model back to the Analytical Modeler.
