    Error in using *CFOPEN command

    Hello everyone, I am doing modal analysis using Workbench, I added APDL code to extract the first mode value from the text file using the next code: *CFOPEN,1st_mode,TXT,C:\Users\hp\Desktop\New folder *VWRITE,Fd1 (F18.10) *CFCLOSE Unfortunately, this code didn't work properly, and the next...

    how to do share topology in the design modeler in Ansys Workbench

    Hello everyone I am trying to simulate C beam using design modeler I used share topology option to merge the flanges with the web of the C beam as shown in pic no1 then I tried to mesh it ,the result is shown in pic no2 is the meshed surfaces at the corner is normal? and if not so or I need...

    how to write a parameter in APDL code inside workbench file ?

    well, that is look pretty good. in that case I think I have to parametrize both P1 and P4 (in your code) take in consideration that P1 (thickness) is extrude length. when I tried to identify the Dummy parameter it I couldn't put a unit (the unit cell is empty and I couldn't assign it to m _ Regards

    how to write a parameter in APDL code inside workbench file ?

    Dear Jiri, your code worked perfectly for the simple example that I have given to you. I tried to develop harder situation I am trying to apply deflection upon the surface of block with thickness 0.15 m , both deflection and thickness are variables (parameters). the thickness is defined with...

    how to extract mode shapes vectors from ANSYS WORKBENCH file ?

    Hello everyone, I am doing modal analysis for cantilever plate (attached file), I need to extract eigen vectors (mode shape vector of each mode) or modal matrix (matrix that hold all mode shape vectors). I tried to extract mass and stiffness matrices and then solve an eigen problem using...

    how to write a parameter in APDL code inside workbench file ?

    that is pretty good. then, if I need to handle W or H or L in the written APDL, should I write them W , H, or L ? or P1, P2, P3 ? Regards

    how to write a parameter in APDL code inside workbench file ?

    well, that means when I need to deal with some parameter (that already defined in the WORKBENCH) in the APDL code I just put its "parameter name" like (W,H, L) in the APDL code. and when I need to create a parameter in the APDL to deal with it in the WORKBENCH I give it ARG1,2,3... ? am I right ?

    how to write a parameter in APDL code inside workbench file ?

    Hi jkupka84, Appreciated for your concern, let me explain the problem in details as simple as I can, I am doing maximization problem, the objective is maximize energy done by some plate due to applied force at certain frequency. the parameters are the thickness and the force . (I can parametrize...

    how to write a parameter in APDL code inside workbench file ?

    I am so appreciated for your sincere help, I think some misunderstanding happened. in the workbench file , while I was preparing my problem, I checked the parameter (b) to be parametrized (i.e the mark [P] appeared in the box next to (b) value in Workbench) . I just want to know how to mention...

    how to write a parameter in APDL code inside workbench file ?

    Hello every one, I had to write some APDL code inside harmonic analysis in workbench file. Inside this APDL code, I applied some force to the system (f) where the value of (f) is determined from relation (f= S*A*b) where S and A are constant while (b) is parametrized in order to carry out...

    how to assign material to auto-generated body in ANSYS 22R1 workbench ?

    Hello everyone, I do optimization using MOGA at ANSYS 22R1 workbench, where I have an array of solid bodies attached to shell181 plate. the parameter of the optimization is the number (n) of the solid bodies rows of the pattern created by Design modular. The problem is when the optimizer...
