    Spherical coordinate system - ANSYS explicit workbench

    I think I may have figured out my issue, LS DYNA works with ADPL, my solver is set to Autodyn, which I understand is not compatible with APDL. How the devil am I going to get spherical coordinates into my analysis? I can't understand why this is so awkward! Dan

    Spherical coordinate system - ANSYS explicit workbench

    Rick, I have selected the option to allow WB to save the .db file, but I cannot seem to find it in the MECH directory. Please note this directory is not blank, it contains other files just not a .db file Any ideas? Dan

    Spherical coordinate system - ANSYS explicit workbench

    Wow Rick, what an interesting read! I will most certainly give your first suggestion a go, and report back. Thanks once again! Dan

    Spherical coordinate system - ANSYS explicit workbench

    Good question! LS DYNA I do believe, which I see as Explicit Dynamics (through WB)

    Spherical coordinate system - ANSYS explicit workbench

    Rich! Thanks once again, it certainly looks as though none of snippets are available in ansys explicit. I was able to write an input file through static structural and read it in ADPL, so that suggestion will probably work. However when I went to write the same file through ansys explicit, the...

    Spherical coordinate system - ANSYS explicit workbench

    Rick, firstly can I say big thanks for your more than informative reply! So the signs seem to suggest that it may be possible. As you may be able to tell, my experience is fairly limited in ANSYS ADPL so please excuse my inexperience. To clarify, the snippet icon you refer to, is this the 'C'...

    Spherical coordinate system - ANSYS explicit workbench

    Good day all! I am in desperate need of anyone out there who has an success in this matter. I'm looking at assigning a transversely isotropic material, along a spherical coordinate system in ANSYS explicit (workbench). Now I have done a lot of searching, and have had little success. What I...
