I have seperate folders all containing different Ansys runs on PC. Each folder contains all the files from 1 seperate run. I then backup my work and copy to external hardisk 'HD1'. I run Ansys accessing HD1 and all works fine.
I then copy all the folders from HD1 to another external hardisk...
According to my knowledge, yes a finer mesh might help it to converge. But I'm saying this in general, it might / might not work in your case. You can always try..
Hello everyone
Is it possible to select a number of nodes, and then use *get, to obtain the respective node numbers? I have trouble finding this in the Help for *get. I then want to use another *get to get the UY disp of each node.
Thanks

Thanks cbrn and slumdogengineer.
Cbrn, yes I use the second option you suggest already, but that is only for 1 run. I will try multiple batch runs now using DOS.
Hi
I would like to run multiple consecutive runs in Ansys. I am unfamiliar with DOS. I cannot understand the Help file:
set ANSYS100_PRODUCT=ANE3FL
set ANS_CONSEC=YES
"C:\Program Files\Ansys Inc\V100\ANSYS\bin\intel
\ansys100" -b -i vm1.dat -o vm1.out

Hello everyone
I am getting this very strange problem.
I have a 3D model with a large number of Areas. In the middle of a /prep7, I switch on the Area numbering from the Menu, but upon 'aplot'
1) All areas are listed as A1
2) All areas are the same colour
I did not join the areas together or...
I am plotting a path, and then extracting the stresses acting along this path.
My question is: Are these stresses that I extract given in local or in global coordinates?
Many thanks
Thanks Drej. Can I then ouput all the results stored? My point of doing this is to extract the data. Therefore I need them to be output in the Output File, so that I can copy into a Spreadsheet.
I was wondering whether it is possible to output all the iterations of a *do loop in the output file? Currently my Ansys is set to only output the first iteration.. Is it possible to change?
thanks
Is it possible to store the results from a *get (*get,xposition,node,i,loc,x) other than use an array? I was thinking of something similar to 'store' which is used to store results using 'nsol'. Does it exist in Ansys?

I am trying to find the maximum value of temperature my nodes go through after a thermal solution. From the 'time-history' post processor I select 'Add data' and select a node. I cannot understand what's next. I have tried to type in TEMP in the first box on the calculator and then click on...
thanks.
another question if you don't mind please: what is "(4(E15.6))" towards the end?
thank you for your time; I am finding your answers very useful in my work
Hi Alex
Thanks. Yes in fact I had convergence problems when my loads were stepped: I have a very large amount of loadsteps including a large amount of substeps.
Ramped loads give better convergence.
Max
In a static structural non-linear analysis, what difference is there between applying a load as a step or a ramp with 'kbc' in ansys ?
Does it affect results?
