Can you extract all of the participation factors from a modal analysis and store them as parameters?


In ANSYS Release 10.0, you can use the *GET command (*GET,PAR,MODE,,PFACT) to extract and save only the last participation factor (ROTZ) from a modal analysis. You cannot *GET any other participation factor from a modal analysis. However, you can also use the *GET command to extract the participation factor for the last SED direction in a SPECTRUM analysis. Thus, to obtain participation factors in other directions, you can run a series of unit spectrum analyses and *GET the participation factor for that direction.
