QUESTION:

Converting SOLID186 (or SOLID95) to INTER194 gasket element

I have a mesh created by Workbench, and the gasket region happens to be a swept mesh of SOLID186 elements. I want to transfer the mesh to ANSYS and do a gasket analysis. Is there a macro or tool available to convert SOLID186 to INTER194?

ANSWER:

I attached a simple example in which SOLID186 mesh created by extrusion was successfully converted to INTER194 and solved. I used TYPE and EMOD commands to accomplish the conversion.
