    Very simple key command, which is annoyingly hard for me

    ok cheers everybody, i'll have a crack at it next time I can. The only other thing is, what about if instead of making ncen the min node number I made it node number 7, how would I do that??? Regards Will

    Very simple key command, which is annoyingly hard for me

    Hello all, *GET,NCEN,NODE,,NUM,MIN ok so this selects the lowest node number ie node number 1, then it calls it NCEN so I can use it in future commands, right? So my question is how can I get NCEN to be a range of nodes, say node numbers 7, 8, 11, 14 and 33? Regards Will PS: sorry it's such...

    Non linear incompressible elastic analysis

    OK Juzz or anyone else, I think I can draw the graph with all the relevant, but I don't get a line drawn, which I feel might be attributed to a lack of applied static displacements. I've applied a 4mm displacement at the moment, but want 0 - 4mm applied at 0.5mm increments, any ideas? Regards...

    FEA - Ansys, can anyone help???

    Thank-you very much for your reply Wim, it was useful. Basically my biggest problem with the graph is getting a force out from a applied displacement. A similar graph is done in VM201.dat, which can be found below: http://dmtwww.epfl.ch/ims/micsys/ANSYS/verif/vm201.dat The section from it in...

    Non linear incompressible elastic analysis

    Ok You can find it at the following address, should you not have an ansys machine available. http://dmtwww.epfl.ch/ims/micsys/ANSYS/verif/vm201.dat could you explain whatthe purpose of coupling the top edge in the UY direction was and /POST26 /AXLAB,Y,FORCE ! Label Y...

    FEA - Ansys, can anyone help???

    Cheers, I'll have a look at them. I've got a feeling I've seen them before, but thanks anyway. There is something in the help called VM201 and it's a rubber cylinder between two steel plates. I've looked at the .dat file which lists in a rather crytic way the processes. However, after trying...

    Non linear incompressible elastic analysis

    Cheers, that's the best suggestion I've heard so far. The dat file certainly looks very useful although a little cryptic; my fea skills are not the best. Anyway I'll see what I get and I'm sure I'll be back soon :) Thank-you for your reply Regards Will

    FEA - Ansys, can anyone help???

    Cheers, I'll have a look. I'm trying to model an isolation captive mounting. I'm looking at how rubber cross sections deform and so try and come up with a design that will stop the captive arragement inteferring with the stiffness of the rubber. Our dept has reacently changed all the cpu's to...

    Non linear incompressible elastic analysis

    Hello all, Someone in our department decided to change all our machines to run Ansys instead of Abacus. This isn't really a problem in itself, however all our experts don't have any knowledge of the new package and rather stupidly our extensive library is missing the manual. I've been bashing...

    FEA - Ansys, can anyone help???

    Does anyone know any good message boards for Ansys or is anyone a dab hand at the programme that might be able to help? Regards Will
