How to use *DOWHILE command

How to use *DOWHILE command

How to use *DOWHILE command

(OP)
Hi everybody,
I would like to know how the *DOWHILE command works, and what is the argument "par"?
Thank you.

RE: How to use *DOWHILE command

Shouldn't this be in the Fortran forum ?

RE: How to use *DOWHILE command

(OP)
It's an ANSYS command, it is used to simulate loops, but I don't know how does it work!

RE: How to use *DOWHILE command

Maybe this helps. Looks similar to "Do while" command
 in Visual Basic. Syntax is something like this:
  Do While I <= IMax
  ...
  I=I+1
  Loop

You might use this above instead of the "Do Loop" below
to compute a few things "IMax" times.
 For I=1 to IMax
  ....
 Next I

 RTFM--read the "funny" manual. Must be something in
 ANSYS help about this one.

RE: How to use *DOWHILE command

This is an honest question.  A DOWHILE comand keeps excuting the DO loop while the argument is true.  Once the argument is false it exits the LOOP.

RE: How to use *DOWHILE command

Hi,
this somewhat old thread has been replied in the ANSYS' forum, because it was strictly pertaining to ANSYS APDL language. Since the O.P. hasn't re-asked anything so far here, I think the thread in this forum could be deleted.

Regards
