ansys and workbench

(OP)
Hello Everyone,
Intially i worked in ANSYS workbench. Now i want to carry my work in ANSYS classic. But after converting the model only node,type element,area,but real constant is not avaiable . I dont know wat to do???

Help me pls!!!!!!!!!

PD:the model is a ship whit type element shell,only when convert to ansys classic the real constant not passed.

RE: ansys and workbench

Check out my answer in this post, I think you can export as Shell63 and force Workbench to use real constants:
http://eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=319224

The elements you are exporting now (for a ship - shell elements I assume?) does probably not have reals defined because Ansys is moving towards using sections instead to represent thickness and possible layers of a plate.

If the above doesn't work (you can't get Workbench to export what you need)  and you really need to use a special element type, you can create that in Classic by writing the following:

et, 200, 63 ! Element type no. 200 is defined as shell63
esel,s,ename,,181 ! selects elements of type Shell181
emodif, all, type, 200 ! modifies selected elements to type no. 200

I'm writing this from my head, so check that I got the commands right. Not sure how thickness properties will be converted though (you might have to do some extra work for that).
