Element death APDL code 1

I'm trying to get element death to work in a loop to simulate a realistic failure. Problem is, the ESEL and EKILL only seem to happen on the first loop iteration; after that the peripheral commands set to read the results set and solve continue to execute, but the ESEL and EKILL commands don't appear to execute whatsoever. I did read chapter 12 on element birth and death (repeatedly) but as usual, I seem to be missing something (or the documentation does). Here's the code. Be kind, I'm no advanced programmer.

Hi,

Although I don't really understand what you are doing with all this esel,,etab, I guess you should select all elements before you define your element table:

Code: 
...
     /POST1
    PLNSOL, U,Y, 0,1.0  
    /WAIT,30
    SET,1,I,1, 
    esel,s,all
    ETABLE,STRS,S,X 
...

If this don't work, perhaps you should explain how you defined SxMin, SyMin,...

In the end I would also select everything before solving:

Code: 
...
    RESCONTRL,DEFINE,ALL,ALL,I
    alls
    SOLVE
...
[code]

If you do that, you don't have to select all elements anymore before the etab comand.

Regards
Alex

Thanks for the comment Alex. I don't think I can/should select all the elements before my esel & etable commands because the purpose of the commands is to select elements which have exceeded maximum stress values in order to kill them. I notice that the selection and ekill routine works just fine the first time through the loop; but doesn't seem to work at all after that, so I'm inclined to think my problem has something to do with my restart or antype controls...

I will however try selecting all of the elements rather than my invert selection. The more I think about it the more that sounds like the right approach.

The SxMin,... values are defined with simple SxMin=1000 type commands up in the program header. I did it that way so others could easily modify the model without being code monkeys.

OK, tried the ALLSEL command before the solve, and still have the same problem; the element selection and ekill routine only runs the first time through. After that its like its not even in the code. Why would that happen?

Just to clarify, if I only run the loop once, making two SOLVE commands for the entire program, then the elements "die" as planned and the model reacts appropriately. With more than two its asif I haven't changed anything from the initial solution. ???

Look at the stresses in the 2nd substep. I guess your selection bounds are wrong. Do the selection command by command an see what it hapens, if the elements are selected.

Even if the bounds are wrong (not sure why you say that), something should be happening which is different than running the solution without and elements killed, right? I am getting some elements selected when I manually enter the code into the command line, as well as when I run the loop, but only the first time through in that case (I'm basing this on watching the output window).

If you could post an Ekill and restart routine even just selecting a particular element or volume for the kill, I think I'd get it from there in terms of adjusting my selection. And thanks again for the HELP!

Here's the whole enchilada, if you wanna give it a try. Insert some legal disclaimer here about not making a million bucks off this hacked together code.

Sorry for length, but I'm not sure of how to post a file.

Hi,

I begin to understand what your code do. But I think there a small error in it. It has to be:

Code: 
ESEL,A,ETAB,STRSxy,SxyMax,,,1
ESEL,A,ETAB,STRSyz,SyzMax,,,1
ESEL,A,ETAB,STRSxz,SxzMax,,,1

instead of

Code: 
ESEL,A,ETAB,STRSxy,SxyMax,,1
ESEL,A,ETAB,STRSyz,SyzMax,,1
ESEL,A,ETAB,STRSxz,SxzMax,,1

Is That correct ?

Second: I hope you are aware that etable works just for the selected elements. In the first do loop after

Code: 
SET,1,I,1, 
ETABLE,STRS,S,X 
ESEL,S,ETAB,STRS,SxMax
ESEL,A,ETAB,STRS,-100000,SxMin

there are no elements selected. After that you define a new EMPTY table with:

Code: 
ETABLE,STRS,S,Y

Is that what you want?

Nice catches! Have adjusted accordingly.

Unfortunately, doesn't seem to get me any different results. Here's what the loop looks like now.

Code: 
*DO,I,1,rsn-1,1
 	/POST1
	PLNSOL, U,Y, 0,1.0  
	/WAIT,30
	SET,1,I,1, 
	ETABLE,STRS,S,X 
	ESEL,S,ETAB,STRS,SxMax
	ESEL,A,ETAB,STRS,-100000,SxMin 
	ESEL,R,MAT,,1
	/SOLU
    	EKILL,ALL
    	ESEL,ALL  
	/POST1
	ETABLE,STRS,S,Y 
	ESEL,S,ETAB,STRS,SyMax 
	ESEL,A,ETAB,STRS,-100000,SyMin
	ESEL,R,MAT,,1
	/SOLU
    	EKILL,ALL
    	ESEL,ALL  
	/POST1
	ETABLE,STRS,S,Z
