Hello, I need to use multipro command to get some input [below], when I put this in my input file, the following commands are executed and ANSYS does not wait for the user to hit either OK or CANCEL. I tried to use it in a macro but the macro does nothing, even it does not give any error. Any...

Hello, Is there any way that we can stop execution of an input file or series of commands? I need to pause at 3 points of my program and ask the user to stop execution or continue, how can I do that? TIA

I want to use characters s,r and a pretty much like what we have in lsel command or any other selection commands in a macro as the selection type using *if command. With numbers it works well but I could not find any way to get it run with letters instead. Here is a simple macro. If for...

I am calculating an array inside a macro but I cannot use it after execution of the macro because it is assumed to be a local variable. Is it possible that I import the variable to my input file and use it afterwards? (like a global variable)

Hello, Is it possible to join two straight lines which have the same direction (like a line divided into 2 parts)but they belong to different surfaces?

I have defined two areas and cannot mesh one of them. I defined a local coordinate system but still could not do that. Is there any way to mesh the other area? Here is the commands for the sake of ease: /PREP7 BLC4,0,0,10,10 ET,1,PLANE42 TYPE,1 AMESH,1 WPROTA,,,90 BLC4,0,0,10,10 CSWPLA,11,,0...

Hi, I want to define a simple macro to extract the number of line between two given kp numbers,e.g. kp1=2 kp2=5 if exist: the number of line between KP#1 and KP#5 is 7 (for example) if does not exist: There is no line between KP#1 and KP#5 is 7 Is there anyone that can give me some clue on...

Hello, I need to sketch an imperfect cone solid model with skewed teeth around it with changing cross-sectional area. The only easier way is drawing the upper and lower cross section of the solid model and sweeping (not revolving) but unfortunately after much attempt I could not find a way to do...

Is there a general selecting function to select everything by one command instead of typing: KSEL,ALL LSEL,ALL ASELL,ALL VSEL,ALL . . .

I build a volume (volume #1), then I divide it into 2 volumes using working plane. ANSYS deletes volume number 1 and names the 2 new volumes as volume #2 and #3. I want to delete one of the volumes but I don't want to check the number of volume and simply use VDELE command. I want to use a...

Hi, I need to change the background color of the screen to white (while it still shows the texts) for capturing photos purposes to print them afterwards. Is there any feature to do that easily?

Hi, I have modeled a solid model that contains 3 different materials. I want to add thermal contact resistance to my model. Is there anyone who knows which element I should use? The model is just a thermal analysis model.

using commands (APDL), how can we select all the nodes on the exterior surfaces of a volume like a block? I want to impose constant temperatures as BCs but I don't want to choose them one by one.

Can we give names to entities in APDL? I want to give a certain name to a created volume but I cannot find the proper format, any help?

I am new to ANSYS and I have confused ANSYS files: 1- What is the difference between a databse file and an ANSYS file? 2-When we save an analysis session, will all the commands be saved so that we can restore them later? Or we have to save them before closing the session?
