Material properties and use of ETCHG

Material properties and use of ETCHG

(OP)
Hi All,

I have SOLID45 element with two material properties 1 and 2. I build my structural model and mesh it with appropriate materials.

Whenn I use a ETCHG,STT command then all the material in the SOLID70 model changes to material 2. What is the correct way of doing this?

Regards

RE: Material properties and use of ETCHG

Hi,
first "isolate" the desired elements with an appropriate "ESEL,s,..." command, or create a Named Selection (=Component) and select it with "cmsel,s,...".
After your ETCHG, remember to reselect ALL items in the model: "allsel".
