Define the element type to be used in this tutorial.
There are several ANSYS elements that have layered functionality. For this tutorial, element type SOLSH190 is used. SOLSH190 is a 3-dimensional, 8-node layered solid shell. This element is commonly used to model plate-like structures.
In order to store top and bottom section point data for all layers within each element, KEYOPT(8) is used.
