  2. In the Modeling Objects Manager dialog box, select the KEYOPT table type from the Type list.

  3. Enter a name and label, or use the defaults.

  4. Click Create.

  5. Enter the KEYOPT values, and click OK.Note: For lists of ANSYS elements and supported KEYOPTS, see ANSYS elements.

  6. Close the Modeling Objects Manager dialog box.
