Create an ANSYS KEYOPT table
When the solver type is ANSYS, you can create KEYOPTS as modeling objects, and apply them to elements as element attributes.
With the FEM file active, click Modeling Objects .
In the Modeling Objects Manager dialog box, select the KEYOPT table type from the Type list.
Enter a name and label, or use the defaults.
Click Create.
Enter the KEYOPT values, and click OK.Note: For lists of ANSYS elements and supported KEYOPTS, see ANSYS elements.
Close the Modeling Objects Manager dialog box.
