Is it possible to add keywords not in the prepomax library in the editor and then run the analysis, by-passing any error checking. I appreciate you can leave the prepomax environment and run standalone but it would be nice to stay in the prepomax and do this.

There is Keyword Editor already: [https://youtu.be/MXrQBQH7Ecw?feature=shared&t=158](https://youtu.be/MXrQBQH7Ecw?feature=shared&t=158)

Do you mean that its functionality is not sufficient for your purposes ?

I think I’ve answered my own question already. Just reading in one of the ccx test examples into prepomax, segment.inp, there’s a bit of effort required to recreate deactivated keywords.

The editor is an excellent solution. I used it to regenerate missing or deactivated keywords. Not sure why some keywords were deactivated or removed though.

Unfortunately, tye .inp file importer is far behind the exporter and doesn’t support many keywords. I usually import just the mesh and redefine the rest manually.
