Hello you all again, First of all, thanks for your support. I ended up getting the FSUM command working properly for my case following your suggestions. But now, I'm having a problem that I don't understand why it's happening. I'm creating a geometry with more lines, as example: " L,32,40,1 L,26,38,1 L,44,39,1 LSEL,S,LINE,,157,160,1 LATT,,3,2,,,, " Everything Works fine except when I got more than 155 lines. I got an error on ansys when I run my code that says: "Specified range of 161 to 162 exceeds the allowed maximum of 155. The LSEL command is ignored". Do you know how can I fix this? Is there anyway to change the maximum to a bigger number?

Hi, That's the message you get when you try to select lines, the number of which are over the highest one, i.e. you're trying to select lines 161 and 162, but they have not been defined, the highest numbered line in your model being 155. So check your model (or the macro defining it).

When defining nodes and elements the next entity defined is usually the next higher number, when defining lines ANSYS (XOX) uses the lowest available number. If you end up with a gap in your numbering due to a deletion or a merge, the next line defined will re-use the lowest available number. To make your macro's more robust use the _return parameter which gives the entity number of the thing just created. L,12,34 Line21=_return Will set the parameter 'line21' to the number of the line just created between keypoints 12 and 34 You can use this parameter as you would the actual value in most subsequent operations Ian GEAE -----Original Message----- From: Xansys-temp [mailto:xansys-temp-bounces@xansystest.info] On Behalf Of uufinho@sapo.pt Sent: Sunday, April 17, 2016 12:24 PM To: XANSYS Mailing List Temporary Home Subject: Re: [Xansys] [XANSYS][STRUCT][APDL] Using FSUM to get the Reaction Forces SUM of Specified Nodes Hello you all again, First of all, thanks for your support.
