How can I assure that my existing components (ROD and CAP) use the lowest entity number?


The ANSYS commands to assure that nodal components ROD and CAP have the lowest node
numbers in the model are:

ALLSEL
*GET,ND_MAX,NODE,,NUM,MAX
CMSEL,S,ROD
CMSEL,A,CAP
NSEL,INVE
! See note below
NGEN,2,ND_MAX,ALL,,,0,0,0
NUMMRG,NODE,,,,HIGH
NSEL,ALL
NUMCMP,NODE
ND_MAX=


I did not test the above with any model but it is based on the command descriptions in the documentation.

NOTE, I assumed that NUMMRG,NODE would not merge any of the existing nodes not in ROD or CAP. If you
are not sure about this, after the line where the comment of 'see note below' is issue NUMMRG,NODE,,,SELE
then NLIST to see if any nodes would be merged. If no nodes are listed then reissue the two CMSEL and
the NSEL,INVE commands. If nodes are listed you will need to assure that no two of the listed nodes are
selected (active) when the NUMMRG,NODE,,,,HIGH is issued.
