BirthAndDeath.ealive(elem='', **kwargs)

Mechanical APDL Command: EALIVE

Parameters:

elemstr

Element to be reactivated. If ALL, reactivate all selected elements ( esel ). If ELEM = P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored (valid only in the GUI). A component name may also be substituted for ELEM. To specify a table, enclose the table name in percent signs (%), e.g. ealive,``tabname``.

Notes

Reactivates the specified element when the birth and death capability is being used. An element can be reactivated only after it has been deactivated ( ekill ).

Reactivated elements have a zero strain (or thermal heat storage, etc.) state.

The usage of tabular input is described in in the Advanced Analysis Guide.

This command is also valid in PREP7.
