I found here a thread relating to Solid65 element after-crack behaviour: http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=249974 However, the thread is closed, so I started this one. ansysfreak mentioned undocumented option: When you want to use stress relaxation there is a undoc. keyopt(7)=2 (it...

I use BinaryFormatter.Serialize/Desrialize method to store object collection to file. Sometimes these files are large (about 100MB). It takes very long time to deserialize collection (even half an hour). What is the best way to serialize large collection of objects? After deserialization I need...

I oftenly print my drawings to PNG image format and find it fair easy to use. Obtained images could be extremely big (pixels x pixels), but still of very small size (kbytes). My problem is that I cannot set image resolution. In the "Printer Configuration" there is field named "Res.", but it is...

I have 3D model. After setting propper perspective view and applying hidden shade (or after applying HIDE command), i would like to get vector image representing that perspective view without hidden lines (such image i finally "decorate" in Corel). Everything i tried (wmfout, copyclip with...

Using AutoCAD 2005 haow can i get a vector image (wmf or clipboard) without hidden lines. thanx

In my AutoCAD 2004 installation there is no Pack'n'Go command anymore. Anyone knows how (where) to get it? thanks

Two questions: 1. When I send object back (Tools/Send back) in Model space, that does not influence VPORTS. Why? Any solution? 2. Does anybody know of a lisp that sends whole layer back? thanks

Could you please suggest me references (books, papers, web links etc.) dealing with design and analysis of slender RC column design under bi-axial bending. thanks

thanks, i'll try (must find Mechanical desktop first). But, maybe there is other (different) solution? I need to model some curved surfaces in SAP2000 (FEM). Since it is impossible to create complex surfaces in SAP, i guess i should use dxf import option. Elements in dxf file should be face...

Is there a possibility to convert a body object into face? thanks

Hey, you were right. The DRAGMODE variable should be set to "Auto" (I guess it is 2 value). Have you got an idea what changed it to zero (not me)? thanx again

thanx for a fast answer but... unfortunately, the problem stays on even dragmode variable was off.

I'm using Acad 2000i under WIN2000. Since I don't know the right termin for the problem i'll try to explain it. when, for example, i draw a rectangle, after pointing at first corner point i dont get a visual aid while moving crosshair (there is no variable coursor-position-depending rectangle...

I use AutoCAD to draw 3D Mashed polygons which wouldb be later recognized in SAP2000 as SOLID FEM elements. I wonder if there is any way to create 3D Mashed polygon from AutoCAD Solid object. It is much easier to draw solids then surfaces.

I use Acad 2000i (SP2). When I'm in paperspace (layout), is there any possibility to order objects so that paperspace objects are over viewports? I tried DRAWORDER, but it doesn't work. Viewport frame stays below PS object, but not its content. Any system variable should be changed? thanks

If I understood you correctly, you should try to set ISOLINES variable to zero.

I'm dealing with RC cross-section dimensioning according to SNIP (russian) code. I have a lot of doubts concerning shear reinforcment (torsion and shear forces) design. Can anyone help me by sugesting some useful sites or examples. zbrujic@uns.ns.ac.yu thanx

If you already have SAP90 input file, you can import it into SAP2000. The best way to create SOLID elements in SAP2000 is to create DXF file using AutoCAD (or similar). Note that you have to draw solids as 3D Mesh elements - type 3D command (see SAP help). The other, much slower way, is to...

Wow. I haven't expected that specific answer. I don't know, is it possible to give someone more than one star for a tip? I'll try. Anyway, thanks. But, still there is something more. First, YES, I forgot to note that I'm dealing with approximate methods of sway frame columns design. Let's...
