hi to all,

i´m trying to model a plate with ribs (a real constant for plate and another one for the ribs because of different thicknesses) and do a harmonic analysis at the eigenfrequencies by using shell elements. i have 2 problems.

1)when i model the ribs on the plate i can´t define an element table on the GUI or when i try to do that with APDL i get zero deformation. my written code looks like that partially:

2)Lastly is it possible to select the displacements of elements on different areas, in this case 2 ribs ( displacements in x and y direction) and the plate (displacement in z direction) and do some mathematical operations?
