It does, but I was asked to generate this plot, so I was just seeing if there was an easy way to generate it in ansys. ~Scott

I have a simple canilever beam with a force on one end stretching it and I want to generate a graph of shear stress vs x location. Is there any easy way to do this? I have tried creating a table with the nodal x location and nodal shear stress, but I can't find a way to sort the table by...

I cleaned up my code a little more and made it a little more adjustible and the output is more informative now. ~Scott !***************************************************************** !Bolt Creates a bolt joint !*****************************************************************...

Here is the code I use to create the bolts. Usually for the analysis I am doing the contact between the surfaces is not that important so I don't bother modeling it. Coupling the degrees of freedom sounds like a good idea. It may also be possible to optomize this code using local coordinate...

Usually when modeling bolt connections I use a macro that takes in the location, radius, and length of the hole, and connects the nodes from each side to the other using beam elements. If you would like to see the macro let me know. ~Scott

Thanks; I was hoping there would be some way to turn off the refresh for each window individually so that once I plot the first three windows with the top on I could turn off the refresh on those windows and then plot with the top off and then output that to an image and repeat for the next...

I want to display plots of a the frist mode shape of a controller box from 3 different angels, and one with the top cover of the box off all in the same image. I can easily display the different viewpoints using the following /wind,1,ltop /wind,2,rtop /wind,3,lbot /wind,4,rbot /view,1,1,1,1...

From what you've said it sounds like you are trying to apply a surface charge density (coulombs/m^2) to your elements. Reading through the help files it looks like you will have to use a plane223 to do this. Then you can use SF,nodes,CHGS,1.0 where nodes define the surfaces you want to apply...

I am doing a simple PSD analysis on a 2 spring 2 mass system (spring attached to floor, attached to mass, attached to spring, attached to mass). When I compare the force ansys gives for spring 1 it is equal to the spring constant times sigma 1 (the average displacement of mass 1) as expected...

I am writing several macros that I can use on multiple different models and would like to determine the maximum real number, element type number, and material number, I am using *get,param,ETYP,,NUM,MAX to get the max et#, *GET,param,RCON,,NUM,MAX to get the max real#, but have found no...

Is there an easy way in ProE 2001 to find the coordinates (x, y, and z) of a feature relative to a specified coordinate system. For instance if I want the location of the center of a hole relative to a part's default CS can I get it without making several measurements from CS to the hole...

I am using shell99 elements to model a fiberglass circuit board with adhesive and aluminum heatsink layers around the outside edge on the top of the board. I create the board layer separate from the top two layers, but mesh them all such that the nodes match up. when I then do a modal analysis...

I am using shell63 to model a fiberglass circuit board with an adhesive layer around the top, and and aluminum heatsink on top of the adhesive, all which have some thinckness. I need to link the adhesive to the top of the board, and the heat sink to the top of the adhesive, but since shells...

I am using xemacs to write ansys batch code and would like to be able to use all of the text highlighting features, etc. I was wondering if anyone has successfully done this, and if so, how? I have tried using the ansys-mod.el file that can be downloaded, but haven't been able to get it to...

I am running a batch file to do modal analysis of a part and output images of the frist n (however many I choose) modes to *.png files. I know ANSYS will automatically name the output files jobnamennn.png, and and incrament nnn after each file is created. Is there some way to insert...

Is there any way to get a mass brakedown by element type without issuing the solve command? When you solve one of the first things in the output file is the full list of the center of mass, total mass, and mass breakdown by type, but I want to be able to get this without solving. Also I cannot...
