Importing Time-varying force signal in ANSYS workbench !

Importing Time-varying force signal in ANSYS workbench !

(OP)
Hi everybody;

I just would like to know if anybody could help me by telling how I can import a varying-time force to apply it on my geometry imported to ANSYS workbench. The force siganl is 100 samples and written in a TAB-delimited .TXT file.

Thank you in advance,
Shaban

RE: Importing Time-varying force signal in ANSYS workbench !

Hi,
I suppose you can first get it into Excel, then COPY the cells (TIME in the left column, F in the right one). In Workbench, once you properly set up your analysis to include a number of steps corresponding to your input listing, in the "Tabular Data", simply PASTE your data in.

I never tried it directly, though; I'm only guessing.

Regards
