Reply To: Selection logic In apdl

[Guy Hermann Youdom Yimbi]

There is no one to one correspondence between real constant and elements type. But when I selected just using the real constant I got a number of elements more than what I've expected. That's why I added the ESEL,R,Type,,, then I got the good number of elements in that case in my selection.

The problem is that all the elements with the real constant that I first selected just have the type I've applied into the reselect command. So I was expected to get the same number of elements.

For the CERIG command, yes I've applied the ALLSEL before and I got a warning message saying that the independent node is not selected. I don't understand why ... Is there any other resources that I could look to better understand the different functions in APDL other than the command reference book? Thanks
