Hi,

I'm trying to eliminate distortion in mesh caused by high strain. The analysis is a Static Structural and I stop the solution before divergence. I use the following code and successfully generate a refined mesh. The problem is, when the last line is executed, refined mesh vanishes and old mesh appears. What's wrong in my procedure?
Thank you for quick reply.


/clear,nostart
/file,compresion ! reload the ANSYS database
/solu ! enter solution environment
rezone,manual,1,2011 ! start rezoning at load step1, substep 4
eplot ! plot the elements
remesh,start ! start remeshing
ESEL,S,TYPE,,1 ! select only the elements of type ‘1’(solids)
aremesh,-1 ! create area for new mesh

*** I manually use Mesh Control/Mesh Tool, select the area, and mesh it

esel,all
nsel,all
remesh,finish ! finish remeshing, autogenerate contacts
mapsolve,50,pause ! do state variable mapping
fini
/solu ! enter solution environment
antype,,restart ! multiframe restart
