You have to pass your thickness parameter (P28 in your case) to input parameter of APDL code. I create an example, maybe it will be more clear for you. The parameter of thickness has a dimension, you have to change it into dimensionless parameter if you want to use it in APDL code. The...
If you want to use parameters from SpaceClaim, as I mentioned earlier, you have to change these parameters into dimensionless and then write in to the Expression field in the Parameters Set, please see my post above. These W, H, L are just parameters names, so it is readable for the user. Real...
This is just an example. I created a simple model of a brick, defined as WxHxL (P1xP2xP3) in SpaceClaim to be sure how to handle different parameters into APDL code.
Inputs parameter of APDL code is ARG1, ARG2,...,ARG9. You may see it in Mechanical in the Details of "Commands (APDL)". In APDL...
Hi md_salem,
due the dimensionless of APDL parameters, you have to create dummy parameters with a unit value of the dimensions (mm, N, Pa, etc.). To pass the parameters to APDL you have to write Expression in Parameter Set, see the picture.

Hi there,
To fix this, you may apply Coupling constraint or rewrite APDL code
S=2 !Constant
A=3 !Constant
b=ARG1 !Input argument ARG1
f=S*A*b !Force
cmsel,s,force,node !Select all nodes belong to named...
Hi,
just put a Commands (APDL) under Analysis Settings. Tick Input Arguments in Details of "Commands (APDL)", this allows you to do parametric study. Put a code into it
S=2 !Constant
A=3 !Constant
b=ARG1 !Input argument ARG1
f=S*A*b...
Hello,
I think you have to create a named selection with the body inside and in the mechanical, under Tree->Material you have to prescribe for this named selection material of your choice.

Hi, you have take a look at Ansys platform support. There is a PDF file named CAD Support. You probably have wrong combination of Ansys version and Invetor version or you license does not support it.
@Doodler3D
Hello, so your origin question was to have separate parts, no share topology and to have contact (weld) between these parts. I see the point thanks to @rickfischer51
@Doodler3D
Hello there, sorry for such late response. Maybe I found where do you do a mistake. Please verify my assumption. Did you make Component with Share Topology in SpaceClaim?

@Doodler3D so possible reason is bad connection via shared topology? I observe this behaviour from time to time but it usually ends by rigid body motion not wrong results.
What is your final solution? Do you create a model from scratch or you do a glued connection?

@Doodler3D Do you have activated Nodal Forces in Output Controls? Did you check your coordinate system in the user defined results? Are the dimensions and mechanical properties also correct?

Hi,
You can use Frictionless Support on the faces of the cut section and zero displacement on the bottom/top face, UY in your case. This should allow radial expansion due the temperature.

Hi there,
please post all your informations you have! Not only that the simulation not converged. What's the purpose of your simulation? What do you expect of the simulation? Did you try hand calculation in the first place?
Back to your questions/sentences.
What's the problem with the...
