Numbering post AGLUE commands

Numbering post AGLUE commands

Numbering post AGLUE commands

(OP)
I am modelling in the cylindrical coordinate system and have created a series of areas which require gluing together. However post issuing the AGLUE command, ANSYS assigns a number from the end of the list to the areas positioned at 90, 180 and 270 degrees, even after a NUMCMP command. This means that the numbers effectively run 1-30,100, then 31-60,101 etc... I have also tried the BOPTN command, but to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how this may be rectified such that the numbers run smoothly???

RE: Numbering post AGLUE commands

Solid model entity numbers should be assumed to be essentially random and not to be counted upon for any reason.  What is the reason that would like to have the numbering sequential?

RE: Numbering post AGLUE commands

(OP)
I want to apply a load to each section sequentially as per a *DO loop, as the loop increments sequentially I wanted the areas to be similarly sequential, basically to save time...

RE: Numbering post AGLUE commands

andyjhn,

just save each area number in an array vector (*dim,areavect...). Then you can reference each area with areavector(i). Also you should know, that do loops in ansys are not so fast as one could wish. If the number of areas is fix and not to large you could leave the do loop away. By the way, *dowhile works a little bit faster as *do, because it works on memory.

Regards,
Alex
