Dear Friends,

My question may look easy. I wanted to draw an ellipse in ANSYS. Let's say Major Radius 3 and Minor radius 2. How Can I do that?

Thanks in advance.

hi mohdgh,

do you use APDL?

you need a local coord sys for this, an elliptical one...

this works nicely:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
K,1,0,0
K,2,3,0
K,3,-3,0
K,4,0,3
K,5,0,-3

MAJOR=2
MINOR=3
RATIO=MAJOR/MINOR

CSKP,11,1,1,3,4,RATIO,1,
CSYS,11
L,2,3

CSKP,12,1,1,3,5,RATIO,1,
CSYS,12
L,2,3
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


regards,
