Hi flash3780, thanks for your reply. Yes this is the direction I am looking for. However if I understood the CBDOF command properly. It interpolates the output of the ANSYS analysis and and provides solution at specified node location. In my case I have not started the analysis yet. I have...

Please let me know if I am thinking in the right direction. I can define the locations at which velocity was recorded as keypoints. Provide I can calculate appropriate forces at these points using Morison equation, I can easily transfer these loads to structural node locations. Force...

Hi, I am trying to setup an analysis where the velocities have been recorded in a fluid medium at particular locations. Now I have to use Morison equation to calculate the force at those particular locations. The structure under analysis is to be applied with forces generated by the Morison...

Hi folks, I am a newbie in using VB family of languages. I wrote a .NET dll which creates a process (objProcess.Start()) in one function and returns the pid and then in second function I pass the pid and monitor it using objProcess.WaitForExit(). I exposed it to the COM and registered it using...

Hi, I want to call a VBA script if one adds an appointment in a particular calendar. Can anyone point me in the correct direction? Thanks HN

Thanks for posting the link... I am following the document. If possible can you point to the section which covers my query. Appreciate your help.

Hi, I am trying to generate an impulse response of a simply supported beam, with a spring element at the end. A very crude picture of the problem is shown below. The - part is the beam and /\ part is the spring. The impulse force is applied at the middle, in vertical downward direction...

Hi, I am trying this simple example of a cantilever beam. I want to obtain the impulse response of the structure and have the following APDL script. I should get a harmonic response, what I get is a ramp. I will appreciate if someone can point to my mistake...

I was trying to read and write the HB formatted file through GUI. I realized that in command line form HBMAT file has a mapping parameter, which when set to YES writes a .mapping file which has a list of global DOF corresponding to the global matrix. HN

------------------ Problem Description ------------------ DOF / node y | | ^ Theta)--X Nodes on a cantilever | |N1---N3---N4---N5---N6---N2 | ---------------------------------------------------------- APPROACH 1 ---------- In this example when I read the .full file for stiffness matrix...

Sorry I intended it to be posted in ANSYS forum.

Hi all, I used HBMAT command to obtain the stiffness and the mass matrix. I also have the modeshape vectors (which are in ascending order of node number, obtained them using *vget) for the same problem. My aim is to rearrange the modeshape vector in the same fashion as the system matrices are...

Hello Everyone, I am having a weird problem, and I am pretty sure I have some wrong understanding. In this problem I have a rectangular beam, which is to be subjected to convection and radiation boundary condition in Thermal physics and then to stress analysis in Strucutral physics. I have...

What I resolved to, is a workaround using: variable = exp(0.78*log(A)) So for now The problem is resolve. But if you know of any direct command, I will definitely like to know. Regards Harsh
