Hi, I am trying to model a rectangular plate (dimensions of say 5 by 5 units) using the 3-by-3 matrix input option for shell99. The model is intended for use in plane stress calculations. My problem is that after meshing the solid and then replotting with /ESHAPE activated, I get a disjointed...
Well, after much heartache and finally talking with a software developer at ANSYS, I found out what is going on with the subroutine I placed in my first post on this topic. What I found out from ANSYS is that this subroutine is first preprocessed through a C compiler then sent to a Fortran...
Well, I can't say that I know for sure but I'll tell you what I have learned to date. Ansys (I have Ansys version 8.1) gives one the capability to control it using an external user-written fortran program. If you take a look at the UPF's in the Ansys Inc\v81\custom\user directory you will see...
The ansys.f (I have version 8.1) main program allows one to modify it for use as a subroutine in the user's independent Fortran code. I am trying to understand where to place the *USE command in order to call and execute a macro that will build my model. In contrast to the example subroutine...
MATLAB 7.0 contains a C language compiler, but there is an additional fee to obtain a FORTRAN compiler. From the documentation notes for both software packages, Compaq Visual Fortran 6.6 is the only one that matches. However, is there still a way to externally control ANSYS by writing the APDL...
