You need to turn on perspective view for 3D problems.

Add

Code: [Select]

plot, pers
plot, hide
and it should work.

Ooops, just realized that you are using FEAPpv.  I do not believe that FEAPpv has this element; it is only available in FEAP.  You can double check in the source files in the program folder.

Another issue is that blend only generates 8-node bricks in the current feappv.
