Using *VOPER for vector multiplication

Using *VOPER for vector multiplication

Using *VOPER for vector multiplication

(OP)
Hi

I've defined a Vector {R} 100x1 and a vector {U} 100x1 in ANSYS using making an array. Then i want to calculate the product {U}^T*{R}.
I cant find a command to get the transpose of a vector, but I can define the {U} as 1x100 instead.

I have done that but if try to make the multiplication:

x=[U]*{R}

then x is only the product of:  U(1,1)*R(1,1)

How is it possible to perform the vector multiplication?

RE: Using *VOPER for vector multiplication

So what you want do do is a the scalar product of 2 vectors. This can be done using two commands:

*voper,R,R,mult,U
*vscfun,dotproduct,sum,R

Regards,
Alex

RE: Using *VOPER for vector multiplication

The transpose is found with the *MFUN command:

*DIM,UT,,1,100
*MFUN,UT(1),tran,U(1)
