averaging solutions in ansys

averaging solutions in ansys

(OP)
Hi
I have a problem in averaging thermal flux over all elements in my 2d model,
what I do now is copying every node solution to excel (using results list), and deleting unwanted information and then averaging there (about 2500 nodes!)
could anyone help me with this?

RE: averaging solutions in ansys

If I understand your question, what you should do is extract the thermal flux at every node using the *VGET command. Look up *VGET in the help files and it will show you how to do this. Then you will have a vector of length "n", n being the number of nodes in your model.

Then use *VSCFUN, which has the option to calculate the mean of a vector. Check the use of this in the manual as well.

If you write all this in a small batch file, it should only be 5 lines long and then you can use it over and over again without having to type all the commands in.

I believe that you can also do this with tables but I am not so familiar with their working.
