Duplicate element IDs in the same deck runs without error. Why?

I have a Sol101 analysis deck that has a set of element Ids that are duplicated.
 
A set of CTRIA3 /CQUAD4 elements have been given the same ID as that of another set of CBEAM element.
 
I am not seeing any fatal error or warning in the F06 file.
 
Why is this happening?

  • Back when memory was measured in KB, disk in MB, the GUI was paper-pencil, and usage was charged by the CPU minute speed - these limitations drove code writing logic. Storing element information first by type then by the ID was the efficient choice. Plus this method made it easier to add additional element types and it still is.
     
    I do not miss those days nor do I have any nostalgic feelings for them.
