    Hello,

    can you Please tell me if we have 4 Components that are conented with each other and want to change the order(2.Ordet To 1.Order) which Element Type I have to select for them  , after they are changed to 1. Order to be able to Run the Analysis in ANSYS.

     

    -The PIN (Pink) Element Type is SOLID186 in 2. Order, (when I change it to 1.Order, I change the ET-Type to SOLID185, and PROP to PROP186P, I am Pretty Sure it's Correct.)

    -The Other Component(Light Blue) is SOLID187 in 2. Order, (when I change it to 1.Order, I change the ET-Type to SOLID45, and PROP to PROP45P I am Pretty Sure it's Correct.)

    -what should I do for CONTA174 and TARGET170 ?

     

    Thanks for your Helping

    Hello, 

    for my case SOLID45 does work for 1st order elements. all elements are displayed in finite element modeler by selecting SOLID45 in hypermesh ( for 2nd order element type I select SOLID187 ) . 

    thanks
