Hello,

I am currently writing a script where I create a bar-node model from many keypoints and lines. I have assigned the element type BEAM188 to most of the lines. However, in the middle of the script I would like to change the element type and create the lines as LINK180. How can I implement this in the script? A small example code would be very helpful.

Thanks for your help and best regards

You can take a look at the verification manual for the APDL and you will find such examples in there for example: VM 177 (https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v241/en/ans_vm/Hlp_V_VM177.html)
