How to copy mesh with different real constant?

[notekit]

I want to copy mesh from one area to another with different real constant. I have used the MSHCOPY command but it didn't work.

Does anybody know how?

Why didn't it work? What did you do? What does your geometry look like? Are the areas the same in terms of topology? etc...

I can copy the mesh. But the problem is I only want to copy the mesh pattern but not the real constant associated with the source area. Because the area that will be recieving the mesh has different thickness with the source area. With MSHCOPY, both the mesh and real constant are copied. Do you how or which command to copy only the mesh pattern?

Lets assume you have two real constant sets:

real,1
real,2

real set 1 you say is being used for both, but you want real,1 for the original mesh and real,2 for the copied mesh. All you need to do is copy the mesh as you have done but then:

1) select the newly created elements after the mshcopy command and then
2) go to Main Menu>Preprocessor>Modeling>Move / Modify>Modify Attrib

or

issue the emodif command

3) and modify the real constant set to real set 2 for the copied elements

your command syntax will be something like:

emodif,all,real,2

4) reselct everything and the job is done!
