Input for cantilever composit

Use mplist to list all

material properties

Use rlist to list real constant

sets

Plot elements
with material
numbers on,
Plt_ctrl,

Use Plt_Ctrl
,numbering to plot
elements with real
constants

Observe type,mat ,real values in

element list

Use *status to list the values of

parameters created.

Use /eshap,1 to see the line

type elements in 3D with
relative dimensions. Use
isometric control to plot.

SOLVE the problem and see the results as per the

previous Problem.
Remember following commands:
/eshap,1: visual 3d effect to line type elements.
*status
Element Plots with Real constant, material and
element type numbers.
