Hi everyone,
someone can please answer this question?
If for example one draws a circle on a given mesh. Is there any command in Ansys which allows us to recognize the elements whose centroid are included in this circle?
Try to write a macro using the commands etable and csys,,1. With etable you can define a table with all the centroids of the elements in a local cylindrical system. Then can reselect elements based on their x coordinates of the table esel,r,etab...
It's more complicate because it is an ellipse for me but I already tried something like you tell me and it works well, but a friend said to me that it could be a command in Ansys which gives us directly the elements included in the circle, do you think so Alex?
Regards
Barha
