    Run time error

    I have seperate folders all containing different Ansys runs on PC. Each folder contains all the files from 1 seperate run. I then backup my work and copy to external hardisk 'HD1'. I run Ansys accessing HD1 and all works fine. I then copy all the folders from HD1 to another external hardisk...

    Convergence problem - help needed urgent pls

    According to my knowledge, yes a finer mesh might help it to converge. But I'm saying this in general, it might / might not work in your case. You can always try..

    *get

    Hello everyone Is it possible to select a number of nodes, and then use *get, to obtain the respective node numbers? I have trouble finding this in the Help for *get. I then want to use another *get to get the UY disp of each node. Thanks maxibonne

    Running batch mode

    Thanks cbrn and slumdogengineer. Cbrn, yes I use the second option you suggest already, but that is only for 1 run. I will try multiple batch runs now using DOS.

    Running batch mode

    Hi I would like to run multiple consecutive runs in Ansys. I am unfamiliar with DOS. I cannot understand the Help file: set ANSYS100_PRODUCT=ANE3FL set ANS_CONSEC=YES "C:\Program Files\Ansys Inc\V100\ANSYS\bin\intel \ansys100" -b -i vm1.dat -o vm1.out "C:\Program Files\Ansys...

    Area colouring and numbering

    Hello everyone I am getting this very strange problem. I have a 3D model with a large number of Areas. In the middle of a /prep7, I switch on the Area numbering from the Menu, but upon 'aplot' 1) All areas are listed as A1 2) All areas are the same colour I did not join the areas together or...

    local or global coordinates

    TGS4 and Stringmaker, thanks for your tips. Yes in fact I checked 'rsys' and it seems my stresses are in global coordinates.

    local or global coordinates

    I am plotting a path, and then extracting the stresses acting along this path. My question is: Are these stresses that I extract given in local or in global coordinates? Many thanks

    view all iterations of loop in output file

    Thanks! What is the use of the '%' sign? Why doesn't xi=i work?

    output *get

    Thanks Drej. Can I then ouput all the results stored? My point of doing this is to extract the data. Therefore I need them to be output in the Output File, so that I can copy into a Spreadsheet.

    view all iterations of loop in output file

    I was wondering whether it is possible to output all the iterations of a *do loop in the output file? Currently my Ansys is set to only output the first iteration.. Is it possible to change? thanks
