Hi Prapatsorn,

I checked and the development of this ACT stopped. You will need to use command objects. Please see if following verification manuals help:

In addition, please see if the following post helps:

You should take some care to specify the ETCON,OFF command to override Mechanical's default, which is different than MAPDL.
