how to make use of the results of ADINA or ANSYS in FORTRAN?
(OP)
Hello
I'm using FORTRAN to calculate the reliability of a geotechnical engineering structure,and I need the results of the finite element analysis. But I don't know the method of how to make use of the results of ADINA or ANSYS in FORTRAN code. Can someone help me?

Communication is key.
Get the communication right and you'll probably get some answers.

I've done things like this a fair amount and if your starting from ground zero as far as knowledge of FEA and FORTRAN then I'm afraid there's no way that can be answered in a post. It's just too involved.
As far as ADINA and ANSYS go, I haven't used them. I have however, used frame analysis packages like STAAD, SAP and ROBOT and read output files from them into a FORTRAN program.
You may want to do as Dan suggest and refine your question some more.
Good Luck!

Good Luck.

My question is:
I?want to use ADINA or ANSYS to get the mean and variance of the stresses of each elements by Monto-carlo simulation.
So I need to excute the FEA many times,each with different input parameters. Can ADINA or ANSYS be excuted many times automaticly?

ansys -I My_Input_File.txt -O My_Output_File.txt
It has also a langage of his own (called APDL) that you may use to calculate whatever property you need.
Good luck
