You need to insert a stress quantity in the solution branch.<br>Then you will see the Named Selections and contact when you go to ANSYS. |
How can I find the peak result of a combination of two harmonic analyses? |
The most rigorous way to obtain the peak value of the combined result<br>is to check every possible phase angle combination between the two excitations.<br>That would require a lot of... |

Issuing /FORMAT,,F,12,6 before listing the data will increase the number of<br>significant figures. |
How can I assign a user-specified name to graphics captured by an interactive macro? |
You can use /SHOW,PNG and /REPLOT to capture the latest display to a file and then<br>rename the file in the script as follows:<br><br>*ASK,Provide name of plot in single... |
Q: Can ANSYS handle (i.e., ignore) Pro/E cosmetic threads, or must they be deleted from parts before importation into ANSYS Workbench? |
Q: Can ANSYS handle (i.e., ignore) Pro/E cosmetic threads, or must they be deleted from parts before importation into ANSYS Workbench?<br><br><br>A) The Ansys Workbench cannot... |
In running an analysis that does singleframe restarts, the parameter values seem to keep |
Issuing ANTYPE,TRANS,REST does a resume of the database and that will cause all parameters<br>to go back to their last saved values. If you add the parsav and parres commands as shown... |
How can I convert an ANSYS classic material library to be useable in ANSYS Workbench Environment? |
According to our development staff, the only conversion path at this time is to write the material properties out to a file<br>from ANSYS Classic via a CDWRITE command. You can do several... |
Q) Can I import Pro/E coordinate systems into ANSYS Workbench Environment (WBE)? |
Q) Can I import Pro/E coordinate systems into ANSYS Workbench Environment (WBE)?<br><br><br>A) Here are the steps needed to get the coordinate systems into DesignSimulation... |
Why is DesignModeler (DM) aborting when I suppress bodies in wire frame mode at 10.0? |
This is a known issue in DM 10.0 (and a rather frequently encountered one too).<br>A correction has been made for the upcoming 10.0 service pack. The crash occurred<br>because a... |
Should LCOPER,LPRIN be used to obtain SEQV for PIPE16 after a load case |
The VonMises stress (SEQV) for PIPE16 after issuing LCOPER,LPRIN<br>is incorrect in ANSYS 10.0. A class 3 error report will be issued [REF: Defect 39817.]<br>PIPE20, a plastic version... |
Is a mode-superposition transient possible after using CMS in the modal? |
Yes, this was tested prior to the ANSYS 10.0 release. It has been used<br>successfully in the field |
What is causing strange legend behaviour in Simulation 10.0? |
This is occurring on German versions which have comma set as<br>the decimal separator. The error is fixed in 10.0 SP1. |
How can I use the function editor to obtain a half sine function? |
The function below was created with the function editor. It correctly applies a sine function and uses the<br>angular argument unit of... |
Why is a contour plot with exterior nodes and Full graphics wrong at ANSYS 10.0? |
This is an error introduced in 10.0 [Ref: Defect 39740.]<br>It is fixed in 11.0. |
What happened to the DPCG solver in ANSYS 10.0? It |
When you use parallel processing, EQSLV,PCG will<br>use the DPCG solver automatically at 10.0. The command,<br>EQSLV,DPCG, is still supported for upward compatibility. |
Why can't I open a Simulation database that contains a command object in ANSYS 10.0? |
This database was corrupted by the presence of command snippet.<br>This error was previously reported and fixed in SP1 under defect 39719.<br>The defect description and possible... |
Why isn't thermal strain ramped during the first load step? I am using |
This is documented in Table 2.13 of the Basic Analysis Guide, but to reinforce<br>the point we will add the following to footnote 2 at 11.0: "Since TUNIF is step applied<br>in... |
Why is SEQV almost zero for this modal analysis of a cantilever beam in ANSYS 10.0? |
This is an error in the modal expansion pass [Ref: Defect 40554.].<br>The stresses are being calculated using the plasticity curve in what should be a<br>linear stress pass. A... |
Why doesn't this simple example run with the DSPARSE solver at ANSYS 10.0? |
The DSPARSE solver has an error in predicting memory usage in METIS equation ordering with<br>the Dsparse solver. This has been fixed in 11.0. The error exists only for mid-side noded 3D... |
Is it possible to use a beam section with an offset to model a shell stiffener? |
Yes, the test below shows the rotational mode of the combined section is<br>accurately captured compared to an all shell model. Note that the BEAM188 warping dof<br>has to be turned... |
How is the material property MP,DAMP used in a PSD analysis? |
MP,DAMP is interpreted as MDAMP in PSD. These material dependent<br>damping values are used as ratios to critical in the PSD. |
Why does this user beam section require 800 Mb to read into ANSYS 10.0? |
This is a fairly large cross section: 10460 nodes/2100 elements.<br>In solving for the section properties we use the Sparse solver, but don't<br>use the ANSYS equation assembly... |
Can I use PLANE230 to solve for the transient electrostatic/electrical conduction |
No. This is a current based element and the electrostatic contribution is like damping of<br>the current solution. Without some electrical conductivity in the air there will be no field. |
Why are graphical displays of S1, S2 and S3 for a 2D plane stress elements all |
If you list the principal stresses for individual nodes you will see that one of the principals<br>is always zero, it's just not always S3. |
What type of thermal-stress analysis can be done with remote solve in WB 10.0? |
The 10.0 Simulation help indicates that "implicit" thermal-stress is<br>not supported for remote solve. If you are doing what is considered<br>an... |
