    ANSYS: Change working directory while executing a macro

    Hi all, I have a macro which creates a new folder in the current working directory while running it. Now I what I want to do is, as soon as the macro creates the new folder in the working directory, all the further files including .db and .rst should be saved to this new folder. I tried the...

    Ansys Workbench 14.5: Unable to attach geometry error.

    Hi Rick! Yes I am using Design Modeler to import the CAD. And then after importing I am trying to open the simulation window to update the model. I am using "Import External Geometry File" as the option to bring in the updated component. First I suppressed the old component and then I imported...

    Ansys Workbench 14.5: Unable to attach geometry error.

    Hi all, I am working on a 3D model in Ansys workbench 14.5. I did a simulation, but I wanted to update 1 component in the geometry. So, I imported a .prt file and tried to update the model. But the simulation window crashes giving the error: "Unable to attach to geometry file..file location...

    How Ansys Calculates Stress? Is stress independent of Young's modulus?

    Hi..Sorry everyone. I did everything again. Whatever Rick did (2D beam), I repeated it, with Ricks macro..instead of doing it myself. The stresses do not change as we change the Young's modulus, if we have an end load for the cantilever. But for a fixed end displacement, the stresses do vary if...

    How Ansys Calculates Stress? Is stress independent of Young's modulus?

    Hi all. This is what I did. Please correct me if I am wrong. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=238dcfdd-c9e2-4762-9f44-0b78e5a3dd15&file=111111111.jpg

    How Ansys Calculates Stress? Is stress independent of Young's modulus?

    Thanks for reply. I applied the load as an end force. I am using beam element. I am looking at the stress in Y direction.

    How Ansys Calculates Stress? Is stress independent of Young's modulus?

    Hi again.. I tried an example of a cantilever beam with end load in ANSYS. I just changed the Young's modulus (scaled it by 100), keeping geometry, load etc.. same. But my stresses also scaled by the same order of magnitude I scaled E earlier. So my stresses also scaled by 100. In theory stress...

    How Ansys Calculates Stress? Is stress independent of Young's modulus?

    I use Ansys finite element as software package. But I don't know how exactly does ansys calculate stress? Ideally stress=P/A. So stress is independent of Young's modulus. But in finite element formulation we use stress=E*strain. So how does Ansys stress match our stress concept. Is there any...

    Ansys Workbench: Ansys creating duplicate named selection and contacts after refresing model

    Hi all, As mentioned in the title, I have switched off the automatic contact creation, but still when I refresh the model, Ansys creates, duplicate named selections and contacts. That option (Auto detect contact on attach) shows again when I had switched it off! Any idea on how to resolve this...
