static analysis with cyclic symmetry in ANSYS

[neo2011]

Hi,

ANSYS 11.0

I am trying to solve a model which is built with cyclic symmetry(Static analysis, structural).

ANSYS produced few warnings but, it solved the model. afterwards, when I tried to use the /cycexpand, it said, a SET command is required. But, set command is for modal anlysis, so far I know.

Afterward, its working on PLNSOL command though. could we expect the results by PLNSOL command to be ok?

What are other ways to view/list the results?

Also, could anybody explain the nodal diameters and harmonic indices?
