Hi Brad,

Never mind. I guess, keypoint merge will have to do for me right
now, till the ANSYS guys comes up with a better solution :-) !!

Thanks and Regards,
Himani.

Yep, that's what it was supposed to do. Guess I misunderstood
your question. If I now understand it, you need a general
purpose way of keeping attributes from changing when you do
Boolean operations.... (He Drops Back and PUNTS)... good luck.
Keeping track of any entity numbers (including attributes) in
ANSYS after you do any of the Boolean operations is one of those
things that most ANSYS users have accepted how it is done by
default. I'm sure that you could select entities by their
hierarchy, centroidal locations, and maybe several other ways to
make sure that it is done correctly, BUT, this is one of those
cases that it would probably take more time to develop the
algorithm than to actually do it manually. Sorry, but I now
agree with the others who recommended that you should set
attributes after finishing all your Booleans.

Best of luck.

Hi again Brad,

I tried the macro, it sets the attributes of all the areas to
the highest modelled real const no. after gluing.
I wanted something by which I could retain the earlier
real-constant nos. of the areas after gluing.

Thanks and Regards,
Himani.

AARG! My email. It seems that our MUIS (Management of UNUSABLE
Information Systems) may have been at it again. Sorry, here it
is again..this time in plain text.

Thanks Brad, but I could not find the macro with your mail.

Himani,

Here's a quickie macro that resets attributes on glued areas to
whatever the
attributes on the lowest numbered area were before the glue.
Just select the
areas you want to glue and run the macro.

And to everyone else, just because we're still all chuckling at
Chris's satire,
can you get "experience points" to bump you up to the next level
when your
macro's save other people time?

Dear Xansys members,

I am facing the following problem:

I have to copy a certain set of areas with different real
constants many times,
and then I have to glue these areas so that I get a continuous
mesh. But when I
glue those areas, all the real constants get reset to real
constant nunber 1.
It would be very tedious to redefine real constants for each of
those copied
areas again. Though I have sorted this by copying elements
instead of areas in
this model I would like to know whether there is any other way
of avoiding this
reseting of realconstant nos. when areas are glued.

Thanks in advance,
Himani.
