Hi
I am using ansys (v15) and there is one problem for me.
Simulation model can be optimized easily. There is rectangle bar fixed in two corners and I am searching max stress in relation on dimension of the beam.
Problem is:
when I would like to enabled fix boundary conditio for third corner.

Can I somehow control (enable and disable) support boundary condition like other parameters
In parameters table ?
There are no problem with load because I can change load force or torque to "0" value but with support seems be not so easy.
At the moment I am preparing many models (depend on number of support configuration).

Best regards
Mat.

Hi Mat,

The only way I know to do this is through APDL commands. In workbench when you add a command script you can set what step you wish to see the script occur at via the 'Details' menu.

Hope this helps,
