====== ETYPEGEN Command ======
ETYPEGEN,<type>

Elements in SASSI are considered to be structural or part of the excavation volume based on [[com:ETYPE]]. The type is implicitly defined by default (ETYPE = 0) when an element is added. Then during [[com:AFWRITE]] rules are used to determine if implicitly defined elements are structural or excavation *.hou file. However, when using [[com:WRITE]] the implicit ETYPE definitions are maintained in the *.pre file. Submodeler has commands that require explicitly defined types on elements to work correctly. Also, all elements that are not structural will be ignored by the [[:legal|ANSYS]](r) interface. This command will either explicitly type elements using the afwrite rules, or changes the type of all the elements in the model. 

  * type - The element type selector.
    * 0 - changing implicitly typed elements to explicitly typed elements  
    * 1 - change all elements to structural
    * 2 - change all elements to soil
