workbench 8 post processing / training
workbench 8 post processing / training
(OP)
Hi everyone,
I have been using IDEAS for about 6 years and have really been struggling with the structural non-linear stuff I have been doing recently. Over Christmas I was given access to Ansys workbench 8 and managed to get some really good, nicely converged non-linear results. I cant believe the stability and speed of Ansys. Here is the thing, I now have very limited time at the Ansys machine and I need to post-process the results but workbench seems quite limited. Is there a whole post-processing ‘module’ in workbench I’m not using/finding? For example: I have an assembly of components and want to view the max values in each component. To do this I suppress all the other components and then move the sliders down on the ‘legend bar’ until it just displays the range for that component. There must be a way to automatically rescaling the ‘legend’ so just to show the values for the current component/surface etc. I’m sure it is me just not finding the controls I’m after so all help/tips would be greatly appreciated.
Hopefully be able to wangle an Ansys seat on the back of these results, can anybody recommend any training courses in the UK.
Many, many thanks in advance.
Martin

The best of luck,

Is there not a method that simply manipulates the results from the last run, 'real' post-processing?
Many thanks

Just a quick question on convergence, I’ll start a new thread if your busy though.
When I re-open a project the convergence history can be displayed OK but re-running (to further improve convergence) the solution seems to reset the solution monitoring graph not add the latest results to it. Is there a file somewhere I need to save when I close the project? What are the implications of saving/not saving the Ansys db.
Many, many thanks again

For an analysis that contains a convergence history, this will be reset every time you do a full solve, inline with the parameters set in the convergence controls section.
