I predominantly used ansys help for this.
I also used some other books but they are in Russian, and I am not sure whether they will be of any help to you.
In workbench creating contact pair should be even easier then in APDL, since you will just graphically pick the faces you are interested in.
DP model I suppose it does not. To conduct something like this you will probably have to combine other models, you probably should check furs on model, but I have my doubts on it.
I suppose that you can do it in workbench, but you will still need to use command snippets to include more complex...
You should probably look into extended drucker prager material model for soil behaiviour. Interaction can be probably realised by frictional contact. The boundary conditions on the soil will depend on the analysis you want to perform, generally you just want to constrain the expansion or limit...
What kind of rotation do you mean?
Do you want to rotate the FE model or do you want to apply rotation as an external boundary condition.
If you want BC.
You could probably try calculating new node coordinates and then apply them as new BC, (but it depends on the element type (impossible for...
you should tru *mwrite command.
*MWRITE, evalX, C:\User\Documents\Eigenmodes\evalx\outputdateiXmode1a, txt, , JIK, 12,
(12F10.5)
or you will have to add
*VWRITE,evalX(1,1),evalX(1,2), evalX(1,3),evalX(1,4),evalX(1,5), evalX(1,6),evalX(1,7),evalX(1,8), evalX(1,9),evalX(1,10),evalX(1,11)...
See chapter 3.14.1

You can use these commands even if they were removed from a newer versions of manual.
Create spherical locaL coordinate system, located at the node around which you desire to find other nodes. select new nodes based on the radius.
Commands
Local....
Nsel, s, loc,...
You can try *dmat, stif_tenz, d, import, ... Check rest in the help, look for emat file you have to have the element stiffness tensor you want to be the one selected.

Read this for practical application example.
Good day everyone.
I am trying to create my own topology optimisation routine in Ansys. At the moment I am trying to implement the filter proposed by Bendose and Sigmond in their 88 line matlab code. To do so I have to create a matrix n_elem x n_elem, filled with center distances between element...
yes you are right. I forgot alls command before the *enddo statement.
Probably not but it depends on many factors that are present in your model.
Numbers are very unreliable in general, since if you would like to use your code in a different model you can not be sure that the numbering goes...
If the numbers go as you say then: just
Sec_num=lsnext-10
And use this parameter
You can also try this:
Create an array
With line numbers in first column and section numbers in second row.
Then just use array(parameters as an input for commands inside a *do loop.
Are you sure that lsnext...
