  Hello,
  how can i use the command ENDRELEASE in my apdl-script. Enclosed you will find the txt-file in which I want to insert the command. I would like to release the rotation components. I think I have to use the BALL command for this. Please tell me how to do that. I would be happy about a small code section from you.
  Thanks for your help.

  Hi
  You can use a command snippet in the environment to apply the endreleases. Please refer to the following snippet (taken from a different Ansys forum post)
  /PREP7
  cmsel,s,release_n,node
  cmsel,s,release_e,elem
  endrelease,-1,,ROTX,ROTY,ROTZ
  allsel
  /SOLU
  The endrelease command can also do this automatically, without prior selection of elements, but selecting just the elements and nodes you would like to release is good practice, and ensures only those are the ones that are released.
