C3D20 not working.

[carlomontec]

Hello, I tested to read a mesh with C3D20 elements without success, having the error:

ERROR: LoadError: MethodError: no method matching element_has_type(::Type{Val{:C3D20}}) Closest candidates are: element_has_type(::Type{Val{:C3D4}}) at /home/monjaraz/.julia/packages/AbaqusReader/5egCd/src/parse_mesh.jl:8 element_has_type(::Type{Val{:C3D8}}) at /home/monjaraz/.julia/packages/AbaqusReader/5egCd/src/parse_mesh.jl:11 element_has_type(::Type{Val{:C3D10}}) at /home/monjaraz/.julia/packages/AbaqusReader/5egCd/src/parse_mesh.jl:14 ...

However, if I add the following line in parse_mesh.jl
element_has_type(::Type{Val{:C3D20}}) = :Hex20
seems to work.

I must add that I only use the mesh importer for my own code to extract data of elements and nodes, rather than for JuliaFEM. Therefore I dont know if it would break anything at JuliaFEM

Thanks!

Looks like a solution. Can you make PR with that?

[carlomontec]

Sure thing, I just need to learn how to make a PR :) gonna figure it out this weekend

Any progress on this?

[carlomontec]

I actually submitted the PR a few days after. It's already merged. Is it OK also to make another PR for some elements in CalculiX? I'm not sure they exist in Abaqus.

Hmm good question. Opinions, @TeroFrondelius ?

[ahojukka5]

For example, what kind of elements. Maybe there are counterparts in ABAQUS.

Any development is a good development. Please add also tests if possible.
