How are displacements reported in cylindrical coordinate systems?


In ANSYS Release 11.0, displacements are nodal DOFs and are always reported in terms of the nodal coordinate system. In addition, nodal coordinate systems are always Cartesian systems. Nodal...

Is it possible to change a line's color and thickness?


In ANSYS Release 11.0, the /COLOR command can be used to change a line's color. It is not possible to change the line thickness.

How to manually specify memory settings in WB Simulation?


In WB Simulation Release 11.0, the memory settings can be specified by "Tools > Solve Process Settings". Click on the "Advanced" button from that dialog box and...

How are the total workspace (-m) and database (-db) memory sizes set in WB Simulation?


In WB Simulation Release 11.0, the database memory is based upon the number of nodes and DOFS per node. The requested database memory size is intended to limit the amount paging required. The...



I would like to make the angular velocity in a rotational speed be a function of the torque so that it is adjusted
until the torque reaches a desired value. How can I do this?


<br><br>You can let the angular velocity of a rotating domain be a function of the torque exerted on one of the rotating components. It's best to do this with a User CEL...

In Simulation, the "Export Branch to Shortcut" is not displayed in the Insert menu (context menu) choices. Why?

This is a problem with WB on Linux machines that has been fixed at WB 9.0.<br><br>There are two methods to get around this problem:<br><br>1) Move /usr/bin/regsvr32 to...

I am trying to run a job in parallel using MPI (two cpu's). Up till now, without success. After installing the service, registering the identical user on both computers, it still fails to launch process 1, because the LogonUser failed - the message is:

Failed to launch Process 1:

LaunchProcess failed, LogonUser failed, Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
aborting ....

Our login name is (xxxxx) but the password is empty. (We only have to hit return to enter the system.) Does this lead to problems?


For this error, the CFX-5.7 Installation manual says:<br>"The user ID specified via register-mpich-user is not valid for one of the hosts in the run.<br>To find which host,...

Customer downloaded the Linux version of ANSYS 8.1 onto a cd, then mounted it and ran the INSTALL. He then gets the following error:

[root@sgi350 ansys_inc]# ./INSTALL -NOGUI

: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Why isn't he able to successfully install from his cd?


Bad interpreter messages are always permission problems or the path to the shell (first line of script) is not pointing to the<br>shell interpreter. The customer should do the...

In ANSYS Workbench Environment (AWE) 8.1, is possible to import a geometry containing both solids and surfaces from Pro/E?


The limitation is that within a single Pro/E prt file, you cannot have both "solid" and "surface" bodies! If you do have both in a single prt file, you can use the...

Large linear model with many CEs (i.e. MPC bonded contact pairs) generates incorrect reactions in ANSYS 8.1.
What is the cause? What is the workaround?


This is a Class 3 Error in ANSYS 8.1 (Ref ONYX Defect report #26142). The cause can be traced to the need to update constraint equations between iterations. It is a very rare occurrence and...
