cycphase

(OP)
I am doing a cyclic symmetry modal analysis. I use cycphase to obtain the max disp at a node#10057. I observe that it is not returning the correct value.

Cycphase is returning Usum max at 0 phase angle while at 120 phase angle Usum is the max
Please help me understand this problem
thanks

RE: cycphase

> Cycphase is returning Usum max at 0 phase angle while at 120 phase angle Usum is the max

From the list you've produced it appears that the Usum max is at 120 degrees.

RE: cycphase

(OP)
Yes, Usum is max at 120 degrees, but when i do a cycphase,list, ansys gives me
0    -76.92    15.58    106.30    132.1337541
as the max displacement instead of
120    146.73    -29.73    -202.89    252.1503763

I dont know why?
