Output of Harmonic Analysis in ANSYS

Output of Harmonic Analysis in ANSYS

Output of Harmonic Analysis in ANSYS

(OP)
Hi,

I have modelled a system in ANSYS Multiphysics where I do a harmonic response analysis. Note that I use ANSYS in BATCH. I have defined a point (Z1) where I want to list the Frequency, Amplitude and Phase (default). This is how the harmonic analysis in BATCH is defined:

/SOLU
ANTYPE,3 ! harmonic analysis
DMPRAT,0.02, ! Damping
HARFRQ,45,46, !Frequency range
NSUBST,10, !substeps
KBC,1
/STATUS,SOLU
SOLVE
/POST26
NSOL,3,679,U,Z,Z1 ! The node that must be investigated
PRTIME,0,0, ! Set max list per page to 2000
NPRINT,1,
VARNAM, ,
LINES,2000,
PRCPLX,1
/OUTPUT,hareigfreq,txt,C:\tmpANSYS\, ! Define the output
PRVAR,3, ! What to output --> In GUI mode this is shown correctly. But the data never gets written to the output file
FINISH

But the problem here is that I do not get the wished output. I wish to get something like this (which I get correctly in GUI mode):

***** ANSYS POST26 VARIABLE LISTING *****
TIME 679 UZ
Z1
AMPLITUDE PHASE
45.100 0.628168E-06 -62.0460
45.200 0.658092E-06 -67.0027
45.300 0.684991E-06 -72.3766
45.400 0.707167E-06 -78.1395
45.500 0.722765E-06 -84.2037
45.600 0.730404E-06 -90.4371
45.700 0.729371E-06 -96.7141
45.800 0.719786E-06 -102.901
45.900 0.702770E-06 -108.838
46.000 0.679895E-06 -114.415

I see this in GUI mode. But the data in the output file is:

STORAGE COMPLETE FOR 10 DATA POINTS
SUMMARY OF VARIABLES STORED THIS STEP AND EXTREME VALUES
VARI TYPE IDENTIFIERS NAME MINIMUM AT TIME MAXIMUM AT TIME

3 NSOL 679 UZ Z1 -0.2810E-06 46.00 0.2945E-06 45.10

Since I'm going to call ansys from DOS, I need those results in the output file (not in GUI mode). I would be very thankful if somebody could help me or push me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

Kindest regards.
