what program are you exporting data from?
the mapping is dependent on the settings in ansys and how you define the imported data in ansys.
it could be a text file with location of nodes, relative to a local coordinate axis, and corresponding solution data.
you can then assign the data to a...
i would suggest reading about transient analysis in the documentation and then look for examples in the verification manual.
you can get the code from the files they provide.
run some very simple models first and create a procedure.
Just a sample:
1. create or import geometry
2. select an...
does your license allow you to do a coupled thermal-electric analysis?
i use thermal-electric analysis all the time to compare lead-acid battery grids.
if you have a mechanical license, you have access to the thermal-electric analysis system.
it may give you what you are looking for.
try extruding a surface from the sketch such that it is orthogonal to and intersects where you want the split face.
i believe you can "freeze" the surface body and use it to create the split face.

I never have presented my work, other than just internal reports.
This week I plan on having a peer discussion about the ansys model for evaluating plastic designs using contact debonding w/ fracture energies/toughness.
Later i'll probably look at generalizing it and apply it to...
i'm assuming this is point cloud data.
not sure what your CAD/CAE capabilities are...
this is what i would do.
1. Use Meshlab (free) or Solidworks (not free) to process the point cloud data.
2. Output to a format that Ansys can read 3D data from.
- Workpoints, Surfaces, Solids
3. Add...
@Twoballcane
i've actually been validating test data and astm specifications to determine a good material model fit for non-linear materials for some time. for the past few years i've assigned myself the task of increasing our "virtual prototyping" capability by comparing models to physical...
what is the format, syntax, code, etc. of the MOD file?
where did this file come from?
what I want to know is if the file contents are able to translate to APDL?
start with tutorials and validation in the ansys help on transient structural.
consider the explicit dynamics solver.
look at the documentation and consider your specific needs/requirements as you build knowledge of the software.
read, read, read, experiment, google, etc.
