Dear All,

I am simulating a BCC structured material using ANSYS. When i am generating just two BCC crystals using link elements and run the model it works fine. However by repeating this lines number of times using (LGEN), the model doesnot work. i suppose that is because the model generate new nodes at the interaction between the new and old line. So, how can create more cells form the first cell without repeatation of the nodes at the interaction between the old and new cells.

For better understanding the problem, i attacehd the .dat file for the working one (2 crystals without using LGEN, "BCC_model_1") and the nonworing one (using LGEN, "BCC_model_RG").

Thanks,

Ahmed
