By default, APDL uses the global coordinate system to define the material coordinate system for solid elements.
We want to define an Orthotropic material property on a model that has a complex wing "type" surface. The Z-axis needs to be normal to the element face and be consistent through the...
Hi Greg,
I looked into the dataset format and I believe this is going to work well!
However, I noticed that polylines do not get converted? Is it because the definitions are stored in a table? I would really like to be able to define a graphic that represetns a "link" that can be programmed...
Hi Greg,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I am using ADAMS/View.
Not sure if dataset .adm files are the way to go..
BACKGROUND: I am designing a complicated pulley system with cable sets. The cable will be a series of links (parts) connected w/ constraints. To get good curvature , there needs...
Looking for ways to automate the generation of parts, markers, vforces, etc.. using spreadsheet data.
I want to use x, y, z coordinates from spreadsheets to generate the links (parts), markers, revolute joints, and vforce definitions
Any examples or strategies would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
