ETYPEGEN,<type>

Elements in SASSI are considered to be structural or part of the excavation volume based on ETYPE. The type can be implicitly defined then during AFWRITE rules are used to determine the type all of the default typed elements. 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 ANSYS® 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
