Hi... you can check out the command 'clocal' from the Help file of Ansys to transform into a polar coordinate system.

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..

A coarse mesh could affect convergence yes.

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 maxibonne

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 "C:\Program Files\Ansys...

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...

TGS4 and Stringmaker, thanks for your tips. Yes in fact I checked 'rsys' and it seems my stresses are in global coordinates.

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

Hi, try to look at 'mp', 'mptemp', 'mpdata' etc in help.

Thanks Drej and jgeren

Thanks! What is the use of the '%' sign? Why doesn't xi=i work?

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? regards, maxibonne

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? Max
