offset of shell elements

Altair Forum User

Hello together,

 

I am a new user.

I know how to change the offset of my shell elements and it works very well.

How can i display the offsets of my shell elements? This can be importand for me, if i want to delet some of the elements and create them new.

 

A nother question is how to display emlements by an ID?

Example: by solverrun i become an errormessage.:

 *** ERROR 14: Missing property #    7 referenced by element # 28430.

 

Thank you for help

Hi,
 
1: you can switch on the 3D Element Representation, see attached picture
2: use the Tools->Find tool to identify your element (method 'by id') (you can switch off all, then find the element)
 
Best Regards,
Mario

BeMa86,

 

About the error, please make sure all your elements have a property assigned to them, it is very rare that this error comes up for just one element, although it refers one element at a time in the error several elements may have a property missing,

a quick way to check is to change the visualisation mode to by prop and if there are grey elements, these elements do not have a property assigned to them.

@ Mario: Thanks for your help. It works very well.

 

@ Rahul: I know these technique, but it was al little spring element with the wrong property (bar 2). Now its a spring element and it works.

 

@ tinh: If you mesh a surface and not a midsurface, you can uns offsets to consider the distance between these surfaces by solving.
