How to define CBUSH and RBE elements in Ansys profile

Hello,

Hey guys i have used conversion tool from my Optistruct profile to Ansys profile.

It hasn't correctly defined the CBSUH element and RBE elements. For CBUSH how can i define K1 to K6 in property. It has formed Et type combin14 but what elese need to be define there ?

When i am running .cdb file in ansys solver it is giving the error 'Zero length has been defined'

Can anybody explain this ?

Thanks !

Ashish

Hi Ashish,

Not sure if Ansys supports Zero length BUSH elements.

Please get in touch with Ansys support.

But could you please let us know why you are converting a OptiStruct solver file to Ansys?

That's very simple: 1D => rigids => create
