Create 3 keypoints by using K

command. Use KLIST to list

Create two lines connected

properly.Overlapped lines should not be
created. Use pltctrl/kp/number/on and
line/number on and LPLOT

Input element type, real constant set and

material properties required for analysis.

Use nplot with node numbers on

Use nlist to list all nodes.

Decide node numbers to apply load and
constraints from this data.

Observe how element size is adjusted because

of rounding off
To higher integer.
