    Restart control limit removal?

    Hi All, Looking through the forums this questions has been asked before, but there does not seem to be any conclusions upon it. I am using 'antype' to restart analysis for every load step. In doing so, a .rnnn file (restart file) is written and will reach a maximum of 999.rnnn and then stop...

    PRV BS 6759-3 leak tightness test apparatus

    Hi All, Need some guidance please. I am setting up a PRV leak tightness test and I am following the BS 6759-3 seat leakage test set-up (similar to API 527 test). Can someone please advice me where I can get a pre-made PRV outlet cover with the tube for bubble measurement already attached...

    Ansys re-establish contact issue

    All, It's ok I have managed to work out the issue. It turns out that the spring was being deflected to much and as a consequence the velocity that part B was moving at was too high, hence why ANSYS could not converge. Therefore slow movements allow better convergence. Shelby

    ansys and parameters / configuration tabl, (disable and enable support)

    Hi Mat, The only way I know to do this is through APDL commands. In workbench when you add a command script you can set what step you wish to see the script occur at via the 'Details' menu. Hope this helps, Shelby86

    ANSYS static structural beginner help

    Hi, To be able to get a stress stain graph you will have top create a custom graph. See this link: http://www.padtinc.com/blog/the-focus/making-charts-and-tables-in-ansys-mechanical In regards to the compressive strength, you can get the equivalent stess vs. time and then from this you can...

    Ansys re-establish contact issue

    Hi All, I am a little stuck and require some guidance. Let me set the scene. I have two 2D structural axisymmetric analysis with 2 parts (one fixed (Part A) and the other held down via a spring (Part B)) which are in contact (frictionless), and I am modelling a cyclic loading to allow one of...

    Apply one step result as next step initial conditions in Workbench

    Here is where i have got to. So after each command step, i get this error: ***** ANSYS RESULTS INTERPRETATION (POST1) ***** SORT ON ITEM=CONT COMPONENT=FPRS ORDER= 0 KABS= 0 NMAX= 3125 *** WARNING *** CP = 10.920 TIME= 15:48:18 The requested...

    Apply one step result as next step initial conditions in Workbench

    Ok, so I omitted the script to allow the program to solve and found it calls the results file 'file.rst'. Yet workbench calls the file 'Job Name: file0'. So maybe this means I need to access some temporary file it writing the results too? Yeah the FPRS command is valid.

    Apply one step result as next step initial conditions in Workbench

    Thanks for the quick response, I gave that a try, but it still gave the same error. Any other suggestions Stanum?

    Apply one step result as next step initial conditions in Workbench

    Hello, I am currently running a 12 step static structural problem. I want to be able to solve the first load step, go into POST1 and retrieve an X-location (for Fluid Pressure Penetration) then apply that as a set parameter for the next load step and repeat until complete. I am using the...

    Current pressure retrieval in /SOL from table based on current time

    Hello! I am new to this site so go easy on me. [peace] So, to the problem I am facing. Within workbench I have specified a pressure to be applied based on a table (time versus pressure) on a line. Now what I want to do is call upon the pressure related to the time which the calculations are...
