Hello,

I am quite new with ANSYS. Although I read some similar topics, I cannot find the proper way to achieve what I want. I use ANSYS Workbench.

I have a membrane, and I want to be sure that the shell elements of the model consider only the membrane action of the elements and not the bending one.
I have read that this is the command KEYOPT(1)=1, however, I do not know where and how should I type it.

thank you in advance for your help.

Kostas
