Hi,
I am trying to setup an analysis where the velocities have been recorded in a fluid medium at particular locations. Now I have to use Morison equation to calculate the force at those particular locations.
The structure under analysis is to be applied with forces generated by the Morison...
Hi folks,
I am a newbie in using VB family of languages. I wrote a .NET dll which creates a process (objProcess.Start()) in one function and returns the pid and then in second function I pass the pid and monitor it using objProcess.WaitForExit(). I exposed it to the COM and registered it using...
Hi,
I am trying to generate an impulse response of a simply supported beam, with a spring element at the end. A very crude picture of the problem is shown below. The - part is the beam and /\ part is the spring. The impulse force is applied at the middle, in vertical downward direction...
Hi,
I am trying this simple example of a cantilever beam. I want to obtain the impulse response of the structure and have the following APDL script. I should get a harmonic response, what I get is a ramp.
I will appreciate if someone can point to my mistake...

Hi all,
I used HBMAT command to obtain the stiffness and the mass matrix.
I also have the modeshape vectors (which are in ascending order of node number, obtained them using *vget) for the same problem.
My aim is to rearrange the modeshape vector in the same fashion as the system matrices are...

Hello Everyone,
I am having a weird problem, and I am pretty sure I have some wrong understanding. In this problem I have a rectangular beam, which is to be subjected to convection and radiation boundary condition in Thermal physics and then to stress analysis in Strucutral physics.
I have...
Hello everyone,
I am trying to write some variable = A^0.78 i.e A to the power 0.78. But the script aborts with error msg:
Unknown expression in input line.
Can anyone help me with writing this correctly? I am going through the manual but is not able to locate it yet.

Hello Everyone,
I have a windows partition which is around 25GB most of it is full and I want that the page file which is being created by ANSYS goes to an external hard drive. So I changed the working directory to a directory on external drive. Files except the .err, .lock, .page and...

Hi all,
I am hoping that the problem I am facing right now should have a trivial solution. May be I am not hitting it the right way. To simplify the explanation of problem I have simplified the geometric description:
I build a cube whose one end is at (0,0,0) and diagonally opposite end is at...
I have a data set in a text file, this file was written by ANSYS and it does not allow me to customize the way in which this particular file is written. I am pasting a typical section here

Hi All,
I am trying to constraint the motion of two rigid bodies such that the horizontal (U1) velocity components are the same. I am using abaqus Explicit solver.
First I tried with two analytical rigid triangle and used the top vertices as the reference point and used COUPLING-kinematic...
Hi,
I am trying to build a simplified model of a vehicle using discrete rigid body in 2D
I defined a discrete rigid part and replaced the front and rear wheels by two rigid wires of around 10cm length and replaced the body of the car by another longer rigid element which has a translational...
Hi,
I have just started using ABAQUS, and is stuck with the following problem. I am trying to simulate a moving load on a simply supported beam. I have tried to describe as much as I can, let me know if you need something else.

Hi All,
Is it possible to read the directory path of the input file which has been read and then store it in a variable.
This way I can use that variable, concatenate it with another string (file name) which will server as the path for my output file.
This will help me move the code from...
Hi All,
I want to write "node-number, nodal solution value" using APDL to a specified file. Although I can read that in General postproc->List result->Nodal Sol but I need to execute this from inside the APDL.
Your comments are appreciated.

Hi All,
I am trying to place a material property in which th modulus is defined as E = constant * T1
where T1 is the temperature in centigrade at a depth of 25mm from the surface. I am not able to find a way to implement it. I will appreciate if I can get some tips/advice on this.
Regards
