    SORTING MATRIX IN PERL

    Hi, I have written some Perl scripts occasionally in order to facilitate my job as a CAE-engineer. Everytime I need to sort the results that I have stored in a matrix I have had to make the sorting myself i.e. using some subroutine. However, Id really, really would like to learn how to use the...

    Error message "NDofShort= 30 is different from nTotDof= 0 it should never happen." What is

    Hi all Ansys users! I have the following problem: I am trying to run a PSD-analysis in Ansys. I have three nodes onto which I apply base excitations. These nodes are master nodes of CERIG connections. Furthermore, I have lumped masses in my model that are distributed by means of RBE3 elements...

    Post processing in Workbench

    I have a question about post processing in Workbench: For various reasons I do not run my analyses from within Workbench (customized Perl scripts that does this and other stuff outside of WB) and I wonder if there is some way of post-processing within WB anyway since classic is a little bit...

    Launch Ansys batch analyses from Cygwin

    For various reasons I want to be able to launch Ansys batch runs from Cygwin that I have installed on my Winx64 computer. I have tried many way to do this but no success. I use a command like: "/cygdrive/c/Program/ANSYS Inc/v130/ansys/bin/winx64/ANSYS130.exe" -j test -np 4 -p stba...

    Huge results files - any way to decrease size?

    Hi all, I am fairly new to Ansys but I have been working with Nastran and Abaqus for many years. One thing that struck me when I started to work with Ansys is that it produce enormous results files. As of yesterday I computed normal modes 150 ea. for a model with 1.2E6 elements. The results...

    Modal participation factors - modal transient dynamic analysis

    Hi all, I wonder if it is possible to output modal participation factors from a modal transient analysis in Ansys? i.e. the size of the scale factor each mode has at all time steps in the transient load? like this Participation factor mode 1 > Pfact_mode_1(t) Participation factor mode 1 >...

    Force Ansys to continue the pre-check although a bad element is found

    I have a question regarding error messages from Ansys. Suppose that I have a model with some elements that violate quality requirements. E.g. I receive the error message below: *** ERROR *** SUPPRESSED MESSAGE CP = 105.234 TIME= 16:09:48 Element 210036 has negative Jacobian values at 2...

    Contact in Ansys (WB)

    Hi all, I am an old Nastran a Abaqus user just starting to use Ansys. At the present I have some problems in connection to contact modelling. First of all; as a newbie I use WB. Eventually I guess I'll start using classic. However, I have defined contact between two bodies whereof one of them...

    Reading formatted files using Perl

    Hi all, I wonder if there is a way in Perl to read formatted files? (like you would use FORMAT in Fortran). I know the format of the input file and want Perl to read it accordingly. I have found loads of information of how to print formatted data but I have not found anything about reading such...
