====== Export to ANSYS ======

This Option allows the user to to output a model to an [[ :legal | ANSYS ]](r) ADPL formatted file for use with ANSYS(r). When the user selects this menu option the User Interface the program will write an ADPL file with the name <modelname>.inp to the model directory. If the user has not specified the model name and model directory these file will be written however the file will have blank name ( .inp) and the file will reside in an working directory which is determined by a platform dependent process. The user can also create these files using the [[ com:ANSYS ]] command. Also, due to the differences in the group and element data structure of SASSI and ANSYS(r) there have been some conversion problems with some models. It is suggested that the user use the [[ com:ANSYSREFORMAT ]] command before converting a model which eliminates many of the issues.   This functionality uses elements that are compatible with ANSYS(r) 11 and 12. These elements have been depreciated in newer versions of ANSYS(r). Therefore the models written by this functionality may not work later versions in  ANSYS(r).
