The ET Type macro creates HyperMesh card images for ANSYS element types.
The ET Type macro dialog displays the ET type identification number, the element type name, and the key option values for each element type. From this macro dialog, you can create card images for any element type that HyperMesh supports, view existing ET types along with their reference numbers and key options, edit existing element types, or delete element types.
Rows can be sorted by ET Type name, ID and the element type column.
The following buttons are available on the ET Type macro dialog:

Right-clicking on a row displays a context sensitive menu with the option to delete unused ET types. Selecting this option can help you clean up your model by deleting unused ET types.
You can also edit element types, edit key options, and delete element types from the menu that appears when you right-click in the table when a row/element type is selected.
