Reply To: Ansys APDL – How to use ENDRELEASE in the script

[Ashish Khemka]

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.
