Meshing a pre stressed membrane element

Hi to everyone, I'm using Prestressed membrane element and I try to mesh it using a 8 nodes quadratic element.
When I try to solve it, I receive a message which say: "Element PreStressedMembraneCorotationalElement Quadrilateral (8 nodes) not available for surface entities on group"

This message is related (and raised) by the problemtype or solver, not by GiD itself.

GiD can generate quadrilaterals quadratic of 8 or 9 nodes.
But be able to use them for some simulation is responsibility of the problemtype/solver

GiD doesn't have any Element PreStressedMembraneCorotationalElement structural element
You must ask this question to the developers of this problemtype.
