egid

Elements.egid(val='', **kwargs)

Specifies a global identifier for a set of MESH200 elements.

Mechanical APDL Command: EGID

Parameters:

valstr

An integer for identifying a set of MESH200 elements used in a reinforcing analysis. Default = 1.

Notes

VAL is a global identifier that you assign to a set of MESH200 elements in a reinforcing analysis. The command is valid only when using the mesh-independent method for defining reinforcing.

The global identifier that you specify is transferred to the reinforcing members (individual reinforcings) when they are generated ( ereinf ).

Issue egid before generating the MESH200 elements.

If necessary, you can change the global identifier for an existing set of MESH200 elements ( emodif ).
