How to draw an ellipse

[course]

Hi !
My problem is quite simple: how can I draw an ellipse with ansys 11???
There circle functions arc functions but I couldn't find an ellipse function.
Does anybody knows about it?
Thank in advance !!!

This is easy. Create keypoints within an elliptical coordinate system and create the ellipse via splines.

! Sample of input
LOCAL,11,1,,,,,,,0.5 ! PAR1 argument is key for creating elliptical CSYS
CSYS,11
K,1:10,1,0:90:9 ! create keypoints for spline
BSPLINE ! specify points which to use

The rest of the creation should be trivial from here.

Good luck!
