LINK 180 ELEMENT PROBLEM

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 sad: 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

RE: LINK 180 ELEMENT PROBLEM

V13 was the last version that used real constants for section properties for link180: CRSI (concrete reinforcing) Code Issues Links. Starting at V14, section data is input with the SECTYPE and SECDATA commands.
