generating prism solid element

generating prism solid element

generating prism solid element

(OP)
I try to generate [only] one Solid --let's say solid 95) element over a prism volume (a prismatic volume with rectangular section). Whatever I do, ansys generated more than one element! I messed around with the mesh options alot and I got no where. I hope someone has a solution for this problem? I appreciate it :)

RE: generating prism solid element

Hi,
I try it as well. I wrote this commands

/PREP7
ET,1,95
BLOCK,-5,5,-5,5,0,15
LESIZE,ALL,,,1 !On all lines will be one element
VMESH,ALL

and ansys generated only one prism element. Is is what you want to do? Maybe you forgot to define the element size (via LESIZE command).

Hi ePetr!
Thanks for the tip, well that was the way I was trying to mesh my volume. Maybe I was missing something.
Thanks again
