      Hi,

      I inserted a .cdb shell mesh file to Workbench via "External Model" block and I'd like to open KEYOPT,1,5 option on this shell model. How can I do it in ANYSY mechanical?

      In Mechanical, right click on the shell under geometry and insert command. Type the command you want to use
      Check help doc for proper command usage - KEYOPT (ansys.com)
      You may have to use : keyopt,matid,1,5 ! where 1 is keyoption number and 5 is the value. Change it as needed for the element. Check the element reference guide for details of keyoption for specific element
