    ansys apdl, etab, max per row

    Hi all, I've been trying to create an etab column based on the values in the current row. no success. Say I have a etable with S1 from load case 1, S1 from load case 2, S3 from LC1 and S3 from LC2. I would like to have a 5th column where the min of S1s and a 6th with max of S3. Finally a 7th...

    Shared Faces in Ansys APDL

    Dear all, thank you for the nice forum you have here. normally i can find answers just by searching thtro topics. but this time.. i cant. or maybe it's just not possible. i've generated 2 areas that are adjacent at an edge (same length, as an open book) i can connect those areas with...

    Ansys Apdl, beam 188

    Dear All, could same one explain why, when i use beam188 (with a user difined section) i can see with "PLESOL, S,EQV, 0,1.0" the von Mises stress, but when i do "ETABLE,svmis,s,eqv ", ansys complains. also, i would like to understand why is there a diference (with shell63): between ploting...

    beam188

    Hi Forum, beam3 and beam188, i get strange results, when modeling with those elements the same line geometry. for instance model 1) a strait line length 1un. meshed with 100 beam3 elements. if i select nodes at .4<x<.6, then aply force to all selected nodes (say FY=1) model 2) on the other...

    Application of a Force

    if you were using apdl... i would sugest: 1. creating a node at the position you want to aply the the force, 2. create a rigid region, or use coupled degrees 3. aply the force as calcul8t said. in workbench.. i can't help you. unless you use apdl macros in wb. this is possible, right...
