I have a simple canilever beam with a force on one end stretching it and I want to generate a graph of shear stress vs x location. Is there any easy way to do this? I have tried creating a table with the nodal x location and nodal shear stress, but I can't find a way to sort the table by...
I want to display plots of a the frist mode shape of a controller box from 3 different angels, and one with the top cover of the box off all in the same image. I can easily display the different viewpoints using the following
/wind,1,ltop
/wind,2,rtop
/wind,3,lbot
/wind,4,rbot
/view,1,1,1,1...
I am doing a simple PSD analysis on a 2 spring 2 mass system (spring attached to floor, attached to mass, attached to spring, attached to mass). When I compare the force ansys gives for spring 1 it is equal to the spring constant times sigma 1 (the average displacement of mass 1) as expected...
I am writing several macros that I can use on multiple different models and would like to determine the maximum real number, element type number, and material number, I am using *get,param,ETYP,,NUM,MAX to get the max et#, *GET,param,RCON,,NUM,MAX to get the max real#, but have found no...
Is there an easy way in ProE 2001 to find the coordinates (x, y, and z) of a feature relative to a specified coordinate system. For instance if I want the location of the center of a hole relative to a part's default CS can I get it without making several measurements from CS to the hole...
I am using shell99 elements to model a fiberglass circuit board with adhesive and aluminum heatsink layers around the outside edge on the top of the board. I create the board layer separate from the top two layers, but mesh them all such that the nodes match up. when I then do a modal analysis...
I am using shell63 to model a fiberglass circuit board with an adhesive layer around the top, and and aluminum heatsink on top of the adhesive, all which have some thinckness. I need to link the adhesive to the top of the board, and the heat sink to the top of the adhesive, but since shells...
I am using xemacs to write ansys batch code and would like to be able to use all of the text highlighting features, etc. I was wondering if anyone has successfully done this, and if so, how? I have tried using the ansys-mod.el file that can be downloaded, but haven't been able to get it to...
I am running a batch file to do modal analysis of a part and output images of the frist n (however many I choose) modes to *.png files. I know ANSYS will automatically name the output files jobnamennn.png, and and incrament nnn after each file is created. Is there some way to insert...
Is there any way to get a mass brakedown by element type without issuing the solve command? When you solve one of the first things in the output file is the full list of the center of mass, total mass, and mass breakdown by type, but I want to be able to get this without solving. Also I cannot...
