you will need a named selection of the concrete bodies that you wish to change. To do many elements at once, insert a snippet in the analysis environment with the following. Here is the commands that can be used in applying acceleration to the body.

Add a /WAIT command Add the command /WAIT,5 after each PLNSOL command. Solid 65 is an archived element type so the only way to modify this is through command snippets. Answer: You can use the command snippet to apply linear acceleration to the assemblies. graphics commands Open the /EFACET entry in the Mechanical APDL Command. With this command snippet the solve would fail, as reinforcing elements do not have the same shape (number of nodes) as link elements. You can ofcourse create SURF154 elements on a surface, by selecting nodes of the surface (by selecting the face named selection via CMSEL command) and use ESURF command to create the elements. I also noticed in your first picture that Model Type is set to Reinforcement. Best way to learn APDL is to go to MAPDL and type and execute commands on the fly to see what they do. So far I was able to export the participation factor, the eigenfrequencies and the starting coordinates of each node. this is in the student version ANSYS 2019 R1. and in element table while adding SMISC, it shows the requested database is not available. In stress solution it shows the requested S data is not available. You can then also create a new material in engineering data that has the material properties (Modulus, Poissons, and biliniear isotropic hardening) that are in your script and apply that material to the links Hello everyone,I am trying to export the modeshape of an modal analysis automatically with an apdl command in the mechanical enviroment and merge them together for each mode in every direction (x,y,z). Not able to get the stress solution and define element table. You can set Model Type to Link/Truss and this acheives the same thing as specifying LINK180. Your command snippet is nothing but changing the element type to links, and then specifying a material property.
