TXT File to Ansys Workbench 13
TXT File to Ansys Workbench 13
(OP)
Just joined and first post in ENG-TIPS!
I was wondering if it is possible to enter a TXT file of some sort (DAT,TXT,MOD, etc.) into ANSYS Workbench 13, similar to "Read Input From..." feature in ANSYS Mechanical. My goal being to have the text file create a model, put constraints on it,mesh it, run a solution, and do the post processing that I write into the file.
Thanks for any advice!

yes and no? depends?
Workbench is designed as a front end for Mechanical APDL, so what you are asking to do is kinda backwards from it's intention.
You can setup a partial model in Workbench, export it's APDL code and then modify it.
It's also possible you could use command snippets...
Pretty much you can use just Mechanical APDL to do what you are asking.

Say I have MOD file that has a shaft with bearings, disks, mass, and all the constraints. Can I read that into a command file in Workbench somewhere that will build the model?
Hope that was a little more clear. Thanks again!
RE: TXT File to Ansys Workbench 13
where did this file come from?
what I want to know is if the file contents are able to translate to APDL?
RE: TXT File to Ansys Workbench 13
Workbench is acting different than ANSYS GUI, If I get you right only way to read your model could be FE-Modeller - a FEA translation tool which is part of Workbench platform.
But really I dont see the reason why translate model to Workbench when it is made in ANSYS ?
