Is there any feature in APDl such that the real constant value of a spring element could be saved into dynamic variable. i was planning to do a parametric optmisation for a spring system, but i could not add the real constant value like stiffness and dampings as a input parameter. if anyone has any idea pls support.

Hi

 

Yes should be able to just call/name it kk (=55) say and use/change that. See example:

 

/prep7  
*SET,kk,55   ! or kk=55
et,1,14 
!*  
KEYOPT,1,1,0
KEYOPT,1,2,0
KEYOPT,1,3,0
!*  
R,1,kk, , , , , ,   
RMORE, ,

 

All the best
