Suppressing "Solution is Done!" Note

Suppressing "Solution is Done!" Note

Suppressing "Solution is Done!" Note

(OP)
Hi Everyone

I'm working on a frame structure in ANSYS 11. It's written into a DB file that I read in using an /INPUT command. I'm running a few *do loops and writing my results to a text file.

Everything is doing what I'd like it to, except for the message pop-up window that tells me that the solution is done. I've tried to squish this with a /UIS,MSGPOP,3 command, but that's not working out for me. I can't find any other commands in the help at the moment that will prevent this message window from popping up. It's a problem because I'm trying to read the results of a previous run in Notepad and the ANSYS window keeps popping up.

So, in short: Does anyone know a way to suppress the "Solution is Done!" Note window through a command in my DB file?

Thanks in advance.

RE: Suppressing "Solution is Done!" Note

If you find it that annoying why not just run in batch mode?  That's my preferred method when solving anyways...

RE: Suppressing "Solution is Done!" Note

Hi,
follow Stringmaker's suggestion or... keep patience! In fact, I don't understand the core of the problem: if, after an APDL-controlled run in Interactive mode, you want to "read-from-file" another APDL, then that means that you are interacting with the GUI and would not have problems to click one "OK" button... So why worry?

Regards

Hello,

there are cases, where the "Solution is Done!"  messages are really annoying. It's true, batch modus can solve a problem, but sometimes one needs the graphical functions so interactive modus is necessary.

So this is the solution of the problem:

CODE

keyw,pr_sgui,1
solve


Type keyw,pr_sgui,0 to undo.

Alex

Hello again!

If your problem is that the ANSYS window keeps popping up, you can solve this problem by minimizing the Ansys window after starting the solution. This is just another way to my fist post.

As Alex correctly pointed out, I had some GUI interaction prior to my big do-loop. Per Stringmaker's suggestion, I changed around my DB file and ran it in batch, and it's working fine now. I'm starting to think the problem may be specific to my machine as well, as I tried to run the same code on another computer from the GUI, and I was able to minimize the window without it popping up on me again (it just flashed in the toolbar).

Either way, I got the thing licked and am moving on. If it continues to be a problem, I'll reschedule my trips to the water cooler to coincide with these runs.  Thanks to all for the help.
