However, the part we want to create has a series of processes: creating lines, rotating them into a solid&nbsp; part, meshing the surface of the solid part, removing solid part (only shell left), and making the shell corrugated by generating solid elements from shell, generating shell elements from solid face, and deleting solid one and the original shell part.<\/p>\n<p>Since we would like to do parametric-optimization on this corrugated shell part, we need to use cfile to create kfile, rather than process them in LSPP directly.<\/p>\n<p>We were thinking that we might be able to create a part with the steps from adding lines to make a solid part via cfile, and adding script to main.k to do the remaining process. Thus, we made a part in LSPP to see what scipts would be in kfile. Yet, we found there is only the info about element_shell and nodes, which is different from our expectation.<\/p>\n<p>Does anyone know how to use script to create complete part from cfile to kfile, or how to edit the kfile for this problem?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-236585","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Hi, We tried to use cfile to create the key file for running LS-Dyna and LS-OPT.
