mptemp

[maxibonne]

I am using mptemp in my program several times, and sticking to the conditions stated in the help file, but ansys does not seem to want to accept it. I keep getting the error: 'Temperatures for material properties must be in ascending order.
The MPTEMP command is ignored.'

My temperatures are in ascending order, and I have also made sure that the temperature range I defind in the 1st command includes the entire range I use in subsequently defined materials. Also, the reference temperatures fall within the range.

Is there anything I am missing out? Please help!

before You use mptemp second or third time use

mptemp

command. (blank, without any options) it will delete previous temperature table.

this error appears if You used for example

mptemp,1,100,200,300...
and for other material properties
mptemp,1,250,300,400
then while writing in temperature table 250 in first place it founds that it's higher than 200, which is still in second place.

Thank you vadims, in fact i have a lot of mptemp and didn't know that previous table must be deleted before defining a new one. That should be it.
