Ansys 15.0 Beam189 and other elements

[anmol garg]

I am trying to add real constants to the elements but all it shows is - " The ____ element does not require real constants" or sometimes even tells me to change keyopt settings.
Can someone guide me through this?
I want to add real constants using GUI.
Also, please explain as to how the problem is existing and what can be done to avoid further problems in all other elements.

The problem you are having is likely due to the keyopt settings not being set correctly for the elements you are trying to add real constants to. Keyopt settings determine what type of data can be entered into a given element. Depending on the type of element, different keyopts may need to be enabled in order for real constants to be added.For example, if you are trying to add real constants to an element such as a resistor or inductor, you will need to enable the keyopt “Real Constants”. This can usually be done by right-clicking on the element and selecting “Keyopts” from the menu that appears. Once you have enabled this option, you should be able to add real constants to the element.It is important to note that different types of elements may require different keyopt settings to be enabled in order for real constants to be added. Therefore, it is important to make sure that all the necessary keyopt settings are enabled for the elements you are trying to add real constants to.I hope this helps!
