    How to see an inner plane on ANSYS results

    Are you using ANSYS Workbench, or ANSYS Mechanical? In Workbench there is a button at the bottom left of the screen that lets you draw section lines, this way you can section your model in half to see inside. If the button is not there, go View>windows>section planes and it should appear...

    Axisymmetric shells in Workbench 13

    Has anyone successfully simulated axisymmetric shells in workbench? I know it's possible in Ansys Mechanical using SHELL209 elements, however drawing a line (to create a disc) in the Workbench Geometry editor then trying to bring that into the downstream systems returns an error about no valid...

    Contact in ANSYS Mechanical 13.0

    Attached is a slimmed down version of the above. This was achieved by removing commands that were not used in this problem (for example time or temperature commands, and commands that are only needed if the modelled system is three dimensional). Comments have been added, a lot of them are trite...

    Contact in ANSYS Mechanical 13.0

    Ok, I have modified the script to something that works.. and am now going through it to understand what each command does. As this was created graphically there are likely picking commands and others that are not the best starting point for script based investigation. If anyone is interested the...

    Contact in ANSYS Mechanical 13.0

    I would like to learn about setting up contact problems in ANSYS Mechanical, using scripts. I have found an Alberta University tutorial (http://www.mece.ualberta.ca/tutorials/ansys/CL/CAT/Contact/Print.html), unfortunately several of the commands or elements are no longer available in ANSYS 13...

    Number to string in APDL

    I've figured this out already, the number can be converted to string using CHRVAL(), so the code below works: str1 = strcat(chrval(var1),'_') str2 = strcat(str1,chrval(var2)) /IMAGE,SAVE,str2,bmp /IMAGE does not need the % operator to read the value of the string, it will use the string value...

    Number to string in APDL

    I'm trying to save a bitmap of the ANSYS screen using /IMAGE each time a loop in my program runs. I would like to use a couple of variable values in the filename so the correct image can be found later. The following code does exactly that, but causes an error dialog box to appear, meaning the...

    Ansys help

    What do you have for a model presently? I.e. are you modelling the femur in ANSYS Workbench, or are you importing a model from a CAD program such as SolidWorks? What would you like to change the angle of the femur relative to? https://confluence.cornell.edu/display/SIMULATION/ANSYS+12+-+Beam...

    Calculating Volume inside a Pressure Vessel

    Is there a way to calculate the unmeshed volume inside a pressure vessel? I have an axisymmetric thinwalled vessel that I'm modelling in APDL with Shell209 elements. As the vessel is pressurised it inflates slightly and I would like to know what the final enclosed volume is. Calculating the...
