Hi,
I'm trying to get the centroid of a named selection using APDL. The named selection can have arbitrary shape, and needs to be found for the deformed shape (at least when large deflection is activated).
I've tried the following code:
cmsel,s,NamedSelection
asum
*get,CentroidX,area,0,cent,x...
Hi,
I'm trying to do a rigid dynamics simulation to investigate how some cargo react to ship motion during transport. I've created a simple model as seen below [Figure 1].
Figure 1: Model nomenclature
I have two parts that are connected with a bearing. The "blue" part (Stationary part) will...
Hi,
I'm trying to setup RSM (2019R3), by following this guide.
Everything seems fine, and I'm able run the test in the RSM configurator on my local machine successfully.
Trying to submit a job from Mechanical though fails with the message: "An error occurred while starting the solver...
Hi
Is it possible to extract force and moment reactions from contacts using APDL?
First I need to say that I'm new to APDL, and only have basic knowledge of other programming languages. Here's a more descriptive explanation of what I'm trying to achieve and what I've done so far (no final...
Hi
Is it possible to continue a simulation in a new system. I know you can do sub-modelling, but what I "simply" want to achieve is instead of having say four load steps in one simulation, I want the first two in one system and the last two in a second system. I have several simulations that...
Hi
I'm trying to create a surface loft (the image below shows the loft without the existing geometry).
I've almost made it work now, but am still having some trouble. When trying to merge my loft with the existing geometry, there are a lot of small gaps and one too large for the knit future...
Hi
I'm working on a water cooling circuit, where I have a heat tank with a heat source that's on/off in 5 min. intervals, and a buffer tank, that's constantly cooled by a heat exchanger. There's a pump, that cycles water between the two tanks to keep a temperature of 15 °C (+/- 0.5 °C) in the...
Hi
Haven't been able to find anything about this.
Is it possible to (in an animation) to rotate a part around an axis (reference geometry) or a (construction) line in a sketch?
Thanks in advance

Hi
I'm trying to make a circular pattern, but keep getting the message: "Rebuild error: Only merging features may be patterned. If appropriate, make a pattern of bodies instead."
Do I need to model my part differently to be able to pattern my features?
Hope someone can help with this problem...
