Hi Guys, Thanks for your replies. In the end i used the SXYZ macro by John Crawford from http://ansys.net/?mycat=search&mytype=Natural&mystring=sxyz&submit=Search It works like a charm! Bram

Hi everyone, Is there a way to get the stress at a certain location? This location will not always have a node in this spot. My mesh changes shape so the nodes change, but i still need to know the stress in one spot (to coincide with the location of a strain gauge in experiments ive done)...

hi mohdgh, do you use APDL? you need a local coord sys for this, an elliptical one... this works nicely: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! K,1,0,0 K,2,3,0 K,3,-3,0 K,4,0,3 K,5,0,-3 MAJOR=2 MINOR=3 RATIO=MAJOR/MINOR CSKP,11,1,1,3,4,RATIO,1, CSYS,11 L,2,3 CSKP,12,1,1,3,5,RATIO,1, CSYS,12 L,2,3...

excellent thank you!

Hi all, Anyone know hot to hide the axes of the global coord system? ANSYS 13 mechanical Cheers, bram

Does anyone have a working example of a 3D J-int calc in ANSYS? Mine does not seem to converge and values seem very low and im having trouble finding the problem... Cheers, Bram

Hi all, For a Stress intensity factor calculation i need to mesh a 2d surface. I have the problem i get alot of triangle elements, but i want quad only. On the other hand i need singular elements at the crack tip, this location is variable. How can i get singular elements at the tip, but not...

Hi SebaMorgado, I needed this once i did the following: Name nodes before you solve, then you can use them later in the path operation: nsel,all csys,0 N1=node(x,y,z) nsel,all then you can use N1 in ppath: PPATH,1,N1 Hope this helps, bram

Hi All, For a combined thermal/structural 2d model of a steel plate im using plane55 for the thermal part. On the surface I want to apply convection and a dirichlet BC. When i apply convection to the plate on element level, the convection seems dependent on the element size. When applying to...
