LINK 180 ELEMENT PROBLEM
LINK 180 ELEMENT PROBLEM
(OP)
Dear friends of the ANSYS forum,
I am new on the use of ANSYS, and for instance I am performing basic tutorials such as the next:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9V6lZSyjcs
But I have a problem from starting
: I have tried to do the next tutorial, but when I try to define the section property of the LINK 180 element (https://www.sharcnet.ca/Software/Ansys/17.0/en-us/...), defining it as a real constant, I have the next error:
"Real constants for the element type are no longer supported"
I have been looking for information in internet, but I couldn't find any procedure on the graphical interface, by clicking with the mouse as on the tutorial (only typing the next code):
secdata, 0.5
Could you please tell me what I can I do.
Thank you very much for your attention. Regards,
3JC
