I am sorry, I meant the CP commands, not the CYCLIC command.

I finally got to make the cyclic symmerty in APDL with the CYCLIC command but unfortunately this is not suitable for me because my loads are not symmetric. The thing I am trying now is the one I asked in the first comment. I am trying to model the conduction to the rest of the piece as a...

Hello again. I have also made a simple model in ansys but I have recieved this two error messages. I am using the Academic version of the ANSYS Mechanical APDL 17.2. This is the one I have available and maybe this is the problema, that the transien termal analysis is not available in this...

Okey, thanks for the clarification. I will try to do it in my model. Anyway i just want to explain myself by saying that i saw that statement in an ANSYS guide, specifically the ANSYS Mechanical APDL Advanced Analysis Guide. I hope I will be able to do it in APDL. Thanks again for the interest!

Thank you both for your answers, I will answer you in order. A symmerty boundary condition would be great. As far a as I know it means that in the elements where you define this symmetry boundary condition ANSYS will supose the same conditions un both sides of the symmetry boundary in every...

Hello, I am having trouble with the meshing of a model to which I want to apply a thermal load and make a transient analysis. I thought of simulating only one part of the whole model adding a convection boundary condition in the edges that will act as a substitute of the material that I have not...

Hello, I am working on a termal 3D model and I have just Meshed the model. I would need to refine the mesh in one surface but since I am using hexaedral elements i can't use the XREFINE options. ANSYS wont allow me to do local refinement. I am OK with the size of the rest of the elements but I...

I think i found the problema. I have done the VMESH after the VGLUE and it worked, i got to extend the heat along more elements tan the ones in the first line. I have to check the units too but i think the main problema was this i just wrote. In the script avobe the VGLUE function was not...

Hello again. I have created a simpler model to see if i made any mistakes in the way and the result is the same. As yuou can see the temperatura stays at 20ºC once you have passed the first layer of elements. I will put two pictures of the model since i dont know how to plot the nodal...

Hello, I am working with Mechanical APDL, I have built a body, meshed it and filled the volume with solid70 elements. I have defined thermal loads and calculated a transient analysis where the heat source moves along the workpiece. The problem is that it seems that olnly the first layer of...

Thanks a lot.

Hello, i am new in the forum and this is my first post. Also new ANSYS user. Here is my question. I am working in a simulation where i need to move the heat source around the workpiece. I have created the solid in the global coordinate system and i have created a local coordinate system to...
