Problem with exporting to ANSYS


Hi,
I used to export mesh to abaqus and everything was fine. The is first time that I want to export to ANSYS, and it tells me '## number of elements not defined in the template'. When I try to check the element type that Hypermesh has generated, the card shows '0' for every element property (ESYS, TYPE, MAT, etc). I tried to assign a property to the component yet the element type remained zero! I also load the ANSYS template at the beginning. I'd appreciate any ideas or suggestions.
Thanks.

Thank you tinh. I found out the I can create a property collector and assign it to the part before meshing. But what you're suggesting might be easier, where is that panel exactly? I'm sure I've accessed couple of element type panels to do exactly that, but not helpful so far.
I found that for ANSYS one has to create a collector with element property before meshing.
