5. Define two keypoints on the y-axis for revolving purposes:
In the command dialog box, enter:
K, 10, 0, 0, 0 (Enter) Defines keypoint number 10 at (0, 0, 0)
K, 11, 0, 5, 0 (Enter) Defines keypoint number 11 at (0, 5, 0)
Keypoints 1,2,3,4 are already used by ANSYS to define the rectangle,
so we used numbers 10 and 11.
6. Revolve the area:
Preprocessor → Modeling → Operate → Extrude → Areas → About
Axis → Pick the area → OK → Pick the two keypoints on the y-axis →
OK → Arc length in degrees = 90 → OK
Go to the oblique view:
Plot Controls → Pan, zoom, rotate → Click on Obliq
