Hello.

does anyone know how can I import some key points to ANSYS APDL?

I have some key points in the text file from modeling but there are a lot and I can't manually add them. is there any way to add them to ANSYS APDL?

please see the attached photo.

It appears that you are already in MAPDL. Do you want to transfer the keypoints to another MAPDL model? If so, you could use CDWRITE to write the solid model information to an .ANF file and then use CDREAD to read that information into a new MAPDL session. You could also use *VWRITE to write the locations to an external file and then *VREAD to read them into a new MAPDL session, but the CDB file approach is probably simpler.
