[PL] Sorry for translation errors.

When creating a volumetric structure, you can select C3D10 and C3D10T. Unfortunately, in the CALCULIX 2.9 documentation, I have not found any information about the differences between these elements.

Has anyone used C3D10T elements and for what?

Thank you for your help. It follows from document 2.20 that the C3D10T element should be used for thermal analysis.

More precisely, itā€™s used for thermo-mechanical analyses.
