Thank you kan123.
I will try it but I am pretty sure that I need to write a script, which is something I will do for first time. I need to do a short of optimization study...so ANSYS decides which is the worst case scenario.
Does anyone knows about scripting in ANSYS?
Thank you again!
Thanks for your response flash3780.
I'm using ANSYS Mechanical APDL and actually I am having problems with creating and saving the load combinations (envelop), so I can call them in every time I need them. I need to do hundreds of them and incrementally apply safety factors.
I know how to use...
Does anyone knows how can I apply a Load Combination in Ansys.
Say, I have assigned a list of different loads (including Load Steps and Sub-steps) and then I need to select and make a combination of them, multiply by a safety factor, and then run the analysis. Similar to what the structural...
Thanks for the extensive answer flash3780.
Already, I have successfully used these tools apart ESEL.
i was just wondering if there is something like a section tool, where I can define a line and cut the building in two, so I can see inside and then create the components a bit easier.
At the...
forgot to say that the model has only elements and nodes...neither areas not lines can be displayed. it also seems that there is a *.sub file which is not really functioning.
thanks
Perhaps simple (silly) question...
I have a model, let's say a building which is closed - full of plane elements - you cannot really see the inside of it. How could I access the inside part, in order to assign loads and bc's? In fact there are only elements and nodes in that model...
Something...
Dear Friends,
I have a model.db and I have given a *.sub file and a MADDX.ANS file. Do you have any idea how to open these in ANSYS. What exactly is the sequence of opening them, and how can I check that I did it right.
So far I am trying with FILE>LIST>BINARY FILES.... and FILE?ANSYS FILE...
