Subject: top down model associativity
Author: Don Shaffer
Date: 1999-01-13 16:13:00

Hello,

Reading in the user manual the description says
the user may create the model from the bottom
up or from the top down. I want to create the
nodes and elements; then create the associativity
to created full volumes, areas, lines and keypoints.

How to do this without creation of a specific macro
is my question. I have seen the message about
making the volumes from tets. But does ANSYS have
the user capability to create the association of a set
of nodes say to an assembly of lines, areas, keypoints, etc.
This would allow the use of geometry for placing the loads.

Would like to hear opinions whether this is good/bad.
