Converting MESH200 into brick element
Converting MESH200 into brick element
(OP)
Dear all,
In one of my simulation I need to change MESH200 elements (4 noded tetrahedron) into SOLID186 (Brick element).
My Mesh200 elements were from ANSYS ICEM. ANSYS window is getting terminated with following error message
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** WARNING *** CP = 6.172 TIME= 11:52:32
Pyramid element 1 has an aspect ratio of 1.E+20, which exceeds the
error limit of 1000000.
*** WARNING *** CP = 6.219 TIME= 11:52:32
Pyramid element 1 has a pair of opposite edges that are 126.5 degrees
away from being parallel. This exceeds the warning limit of 100
degrees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to my understanding, As I am executing command (EMODIF) ANSYS is trying to change its element shape to brick which is Brick due to which error is coming .
Is there any method to modify the same ?
Waiting for reply
Thanking you.

I have tried method suggested by you and solved two different model 1)SOlid 186 (20 noded) with hex mesh 2) solid 187 (10 noded) tet mesh and I found that results are almost same.
I have attached results for two model case.
Thank you very much for your reply.
