Problems output of results in VISTA

Problems output of results in VISTA

Problems output of results in VISTA

(OP)
It seems that ANSYS isnt fully compatible with Vista. When I do a modal analysis in ANSYS and try to write the results to a txt it seems to work just fine in XP, but in Vista I always get an empty file.

FINISH
/POST1
!* write output to file C:\tmpANSYS\eigfreq.txt
/OUTPUT,eigfreq,txt,C:\tmpANSYS\,
!* specify output
SET,LIST

I have turned off the UAC of Vista. I cant find out why it doesnt work on Vista while it just works fine on XP. Any help and suggestions are appreciated.

Kindest regards,
Vidi

RE: Problems output of results in VISTA

Hi,

this probably is not going to help you, but just as a joke anyway:
when i purchased my new notebook with pre-installed vista after one day of use i decided to kick out vista and return to xp smile

RE: Problems output of results in VISTA

Try:

FINISH
/POST1
!* write output to file C:\tmpANSYS\eigfreq.txt
!
! READ IN RESULTS here.........
!
!
/OUTPUT,eigfreq,txt,C:\tmpANSYS\,
!* specify output
SET,LIST
/out

You will need to read the results file in.

The last "/out" is needed to close the file out, but you need to read the above in from an external text file to ensure it works correctly, or you can choose:

Utility Menu>File>Switch Output to>File

choose the file and then choose:

General Post-Processor > List Summary.

You can also list the summary in /post1 and then do a "Save as" in the summary dialogue box.

Drej; I tried your method however it didn't work. But I found an alternative solution for this problem:

/POST1
/OUTPUT,eigfreq,txt,C:\tmpANSYS\,
*get,Frequentie1,MODE,1,FREQ
*get,Frequentie2,MODE,2,FREQ
*get,Frequentie3,MODE,3,FREQ
*STATUS,Frequentie1
*STATUS,Frequentie2
*STATUS,Frequentie3

In this way it always works, however it's weird that the other method doesn't work (anymore).

Thanks for help and kindest regards,
Vidi
