Hi friend,

I have three volumes. I did modal analysis in apdl ansys on them But I have errors:

Element type 1 is unknown, which cannot be used with the vmesh command, meshing of volum 1 abborted.

my apdl code is:

et,1,solid186

mp,1,3.013

mp,2,1.65

mp,3,0.437

mp,dens,1,1.092

mp,dens,2,0.01

my model is attached( external volum is volum 1, thickness of it is 1(mm) and ansys itroductions it as volum 1).

please help me.

Hello Rakhshi,

The arguments in your three mp commands are incomplete : define  the corresponding lab.

What is the parain path ?

Avoid to use allsel because you are selecting all what you have defined. I recommend to use vsel,all

Hello,

thanks for your reply, I convert allsel command to vsel,all but I have old error again. my new apdl code is:

why in ansys element type 1 is unknown? although I introductioned solid186 as element type! why ansys cannot use vmesh command for volum 1? although ansys in list menu introductions external skin with thickness 1(mm) as volum 1! how I should mesh volum1 and what should choice as element type for external skin? please help me.

my model is built in solidworks therefore I used from parain command for import it in ansys.

which three mp is incomplete? why? every laminate of model is isotropic therefore Ex=Ey=Ez.

Regards

Dear Rakhshi,

Define the element characteristics with MP,EX,1,3.013 and else. Before a new input use FINISH and /CLEAR,START.Then input only the part of the program which well runs and continue in the interactive session by checking if your model is well imported at the reached step: verify if the volumes exist with VPLOT,ALL and if the elements exist with EPLOT. Try also with VLIST and ELIST to get the corresponding informations. You have to use: TYPE,1 and MAT,1 before VMESH of volume1.... TYPE,2 and MAT,2 before VMESH of volume2 and else. But to ensure the continuity between the elements use constraints with ESIZE or LSIZE. If you use the VGLUE command you can't be sure that the volumes properties are kept only if you verify them.

 

Best regards

thanks for your guidance, I could write my new code and didn't exist old error. I defined component and then meshed my model, but I have a new problem now. three volumes were assemble in solid works But they are separate in ansys. VGLUE command don't reply for merge three volumes, How can merge my three volumes that keep volumes properties? please help me.

my new code is:

what should use instead of vglue command in above code.

Regards

Mina.

 

when I use vglue command ansys has warning:

don't supporte booleans.

I used from CMGRP command too but three volumes didn't assemble because in mode shapes every volume moves seperately. please help me.

How I assemble three volumes?

If the model is not well imported it is recommended to create your structure with Ansys modeler which is easier in most cases. You can then use boolean operations.

thanks fo your reply, But I wanted to know, Do CMGPRT command in above code is correct? Is above code correct?
