2. Structural Analysis
a) Move to PREP7 and switch element types from thermal to structural.
• Preprocessor > Element Type > Switch Elem Type
• Or ETCHG command
Caution: Switching element types will reset all element options back
to their default settings. For example, if you used 2-D axisymmetric
elements in the thermal analysis, you may need to respecify the
axisymmetric option after the switch. Therefore, be sure to verify and
set the proper element options:
• Preprocessor > Element Type > Add/Edit/Delete > [Options]
• Or use ETLIST and KEYOPT commands
