problem in ansys

[ygna]

Hello I have a small problem:
After constructing the whole model with loads and constraints in allowing the analysis I realized that the solid 65 element is not compatible with the isotropic material (in the model I have masonry and wooden cover) it is possible to make some modification without having to re-enter all the constraints if you insert another element also with eight knots? ...
thanks in advance

does not exist solid186 element in ansys 13? cmq the element definitely exists,consulting the help

Yes, yes, but I wanted to know if there is a way not to remake everything from head (mesh, wine and loads) to replace the inserted element

 

[luigi.paiano]

if you change the element is normal that you will have to remake mesh. regarding the loads there is no problem if you applied them on lines,keypoints,arees or volumes (and therefore not on the knots)

How am I supposed to behave because there are so many?

for the constraints same discourse: if you put them on geometric entities (keypoints,lines, etc.) by erasing the mesh you will keep the constraints. .
