Solid model constraints not transferring to nodes
Solid model constraints not transferring to nodes
(OP)
Hi,
This may be related to a recent question I posted regarding selecting geometric entities using their coordinates.
Using the APDL I first of all select a line using the LSEL command to apply a constraint.
Then I try to apply another constraint to a different line using LSEL again. However, this seems to overwrite the previously applied constraint on the other line. This can be seen by clicking on
List->Loads->DOF Constraints->On All Lines
I have made out a simplistic version of the problem below. The output window displays the following after the SOLVE command
"Constraint on undefined or unselected line 1 not transferred to nodes."
This doesn't happen if I manually select the lines. Does anyone know if there's something I'm missing out on here?
Thanks

(P.S. the reason the applied pressure if so low is because the problem will not solve otherwise. Rigid body motion occurs due to my problem applying the constraints)
