Ansys - Can not send output to file (/output command)

[kyle1306]

Hi,

I have been facing the problem and searching for a solution for 2 days. I've written a code, which generates an Ansys input file with many successive simulations. For each simulation, I'd like to get nodal reaction results of certain nodes. Therefore after the solution, I write;

(/solu and then SOLVE) --> The solution is done.

/post1

nsel,s,......

/output,reactions,txt
prrsol
/output

however, the reactions.txt file is empty after those commands and the prrsol results are shown in an Ansys window. I'd like to have those results in the txt file. In this Ansys window, when I go to File-->Copy to Output, then it places those results onto that results.txt file. Apparently I have to do this manually now. Somehow the /output command is not working. What could be the reason for this? Any other solution suggestions?

Thank you in advance,

Cheers

Can.

Have a look at the /GOPR and /NOPR command. They may help.
