Duplicate property cards

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

If I have two property cards, one a PSOLID and another PSHELL with the same ID, 
then pynastran has a problem, because it expects unique IDs for all property 
cards.

However, when I run the same bdf file in NASTRAN (Sol 103), NASTRAN generates 
the output correctly without throwing any error.

I was told by one of my colleagues that NASTRAN may be smart enough to allow 
same IDs for property cards that are associated to different types of elements 
(in this case PSOLID-> 3D/Solid elements and PSHELL-> 2D/SHELL elements, like 
CQUAD4, etc.)

Version info:
NASTRAN: v2012 and v2013
PyNastran: 0.6.1  

My FE model contains several property cards like this with duplicate IDs and 
yet NASTRAN seems tolerant, whereas pyNastran has issues.

Can anything be done about this?

Thanks in advance!

By the way, its the same issue with duplicate elements, namely one CQUAD4 and 
the other CBEAM with same ID
