Hello there I am trying to navigate through /SOLU and /POST embed in a *DO,i,1,number loop but it seems that ANSYS forget the value of i when entering /SOLU or /POST...

To do things simple I have tryed only with:
*DO,i,1,ndiv
/SOLU
ANTYPE,,REST
TUNIF,Ta_vector(i)
SOLVE
FINISH
*ENDDO
and still does not work...

Any suggestion?
 
Have you dimensioned (*DIM) Ta_vect as an ARRAY parameter? If your input deck is not too big it may be useful to post it up here for a closer look.

Hello drej,
thank you for answering but, yes Ta_vector is an array and I am sure there is no problem with this thing because I have been using it perfectly when not using /SOLU in a *DO loop, it is really the fact that the program forget the value for i when it enters the /SOLU resulting on trying to read position 0 of Ta_vector...

what about specifying a algebraic equation on the TUNIF instead of refering to the array:

Expressing actual values based on i, by some suitable expression - instead of drawing the values from the array.
If feasible, if the value progression does lent itself towards evaluation via equation
