Hello all,

I have a solid model which I need to slice sequentially, and save images after each slice operation. I can use the menu->plotctrl to save the images, but since I have large number of slices I want to write a command line for the operation.

Any input would be greatly helpful.

Thanks
 
Here's a list of commands you will need to incorporate within a macro:

/ui !takes screen capture
*do !loops through a certain procedure
/type !allows user to change display type settings


You probably want to move the working plane in a certain number of increments through your section to capture the images you speak of. Use the /type command to show the section through which the working plane is slicing at that time. This is really pretty simple. My suggestion to you is to do what you would like to do one time, open up the session editor, and see what commands Ansys uses to do so and incorporate these into a loop within a macro. Easy as that. Your question is pretty vague right now and requires a little effort on your part intially.
 
Appreciate your input.

Thanks
