    Use TREAD for a 3D Table in APDL?

    Nevermind, more digging through ANSYS help and I figured it out. Note to self: ANSYS's online documentation is more thorough than the user manuals Source: Online Documentation: ANSYS Mechanical APDL, section 3.10.5.5 "•The values are read straight across the rows until all columns on each row...

    Use TREAD for a 3D Table in APDL?

    Question: How do you use the TREAD command to read a 3D table into APDL? I found help for 1D and 2D, but not 3D. Background: In APDL, I use tabular boundary conditions in a non-linear, transient analysis. These boundary conditions vary in time and in two directions, X and Y and each has...

    Add Thermal Contact Resistance to Existing Transient Analysis in APDL

    Ah, yes that does make sense. I guess another option would be to add a very thin component at the interface by offsetting the line, and then give it material properties of an insulating material. This would require updating a small portion of the mesh but not the entire thing. I was hoping to...

    Add Thermal Contact Resistance to Existing Transient Analysis in APDL

    Thanks for the reply Jason. If I go that route, would I need to do that for every component interface? There are a few dozen components so that would be fairly difficult. It would probably be easier to just rebuild the mesh. So there isn't a way to just add contact resistance to a line? So...

    Add Thermal Contact Resistance to Existing Transient Analysis in APDL

    Hi, I've taken over someone else's work and need some advice on how to add some additional complexity to the model. The problem is a 2D axisymmetric, transient, non-linear, heat transfer analysis on an assembly of components with convection on the external surface. The analysis was written in...
