We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi

I would suggest to add the commands snippet under the part (geometry tree) as is normally done to change the material and element type of this part, and not under solution – in that way it will only be changed for that one only.

See here:
/forum/forums/topic/inserting-an-apdl-command-to-multiple-objects-elements/

As shown in the link always use ET,typeids(1) or ET,MATID, MP,EX,MATID, TB,..,MATID etc. (So use matid and typeids(1) and not MP,EX,1, so numbers like 1,..)

All the best

Erik
