In the snippet above, you enter the preprocessor module using the /PREP7 command; this is equivalent to selecting Main Menu>Preprocessor in the GUI. Once you are in the Preprocessor, you can access its utilities such as specifying the element type (ET command). A key thing to remember is that you have to be in the appropriate module (Preprocessor, Postprocessor, etc) to access the corresponding utilities. If you are, say,in the Postprocessor module and try to access a Preprocessor command such as ET, ANSYS won't recognize the command. The Utility menu commands can be accessed from any module.
