Re: [Impact-users] impact seems to fail with its solid elements

[Alexander R. <ale...@ia...>]

I think I've found the root of the problem. I guess Impact needs 
_the_same_ order of nodes declaration as they are defined in the element 
properties. I think it is not a correct approach although it may be 
caused by parsing.
Something like
NODES
1	X = -10.0 	Y = -10.0 	Z = -5.0 	Constraint = FIXED_ALL
2	X = 10.0 	Y = -10.0 	Z = -5.0
3	X = 10.0 	Y = 10.0 	Z = -5.0
4	X = -10.0 	Y = 10.0 	Z = -5.0 	Constraint = FIXED_ALL
5	X = -10.0 	Y = -10.0 	Z = 0.0 	Constraint = FIXED_ALL
6	X = 10.0 	Y = -10.0 	Z = 0.0 	Load = FORCE_Y
7	X = 10.0 	Y = 10.0 	Z = 0.0
8	X = -10.0 	Y = 10.0 	Z = 0.0 	Constraint = FIXED_ALL


ELEMENTS OF TYPE Solid_Iso_6
1 	nodes = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8] 	NIP = 8 	Material = Steel_EP
