Hey all,

Is it possible to have Ansys keep a load constant in a harmonic analysis? For example, If I have two loads placed upon the system, say a voltage and temperature load, and I would like to have the voltage load vary harmonically, while the temperature load stayed constant - would this be possible?? Or would I have to solve a thermal static analysis first, then update my node locations, and then preform the harmonic analysis??
