thread569-153816: create an ellipse

Dear Friends,

My question may look easy. I wanted to draw an ellipse in ANSYS. Let's say Major Radius 3 and Minor radius 2. How Can I do that?

Thanks in advance.

RE: Ellipse

hi mohdgh,

do you use APDL?

you need a local coord sys for this, an elliptical one...

this works nicely:
