Hi.

I am building an script that saves screenshots from several steps performed in ansys (i'm working in a tutorial).

The problem is that when i apply a set of forces, the forces are defined but they are not shown in the image files, nor in the screen. I use NPLOT, and it shows all the nodes, but not the forces. The NLIST command shows the forces applied over the nodes. In the top left corner the NODES word appear, but not the red F that means that the forces are being shown.

If i do it from the graphical interface, a capital red F appears under the NODES word, and the forces are displayed.

In the file.log file i can't see anything that shows the forces.

Thanks.

Hi, Try to active the applied BC at

Utility Menu> PlotCtrls> Symbols

Yes, that worked.

The command /PBC,ALL,,1 does the job from the script. I saw it in the log file.

Thanks.
