ANSYS: melting using element death--how to transfer convection BC from deactivated elements?

Submitted by bumblebee on

I am modelling melting by element death.  I have a cold (melting) rectangle with a hot fluid convecting at the exterior.  I am using a do loop so that time increases at each loop.  I define a "melting" temperature, so that elements are killed off when they achieve a specified temperature.  

Modal analysis in ANSYS

Submitted by hijazi on

Hi all,

I am doing modal analysis of a box placed at the table. The box is containing the electronics components inside. The electronic components are fragile to vibrations. Now i have designed the box in Pro E and have imported it in ANSY. The box is connected with the table at four corner points from the base. Note that the base of box is not placed at the table rather box is connected to table at four corner points.

ANSYS qu from new user: help me write a "for" loop please!

Submitted by bumblebee on

Hi: I am a new ANSYS user and would really appreciate help writing a "for"-type loop to go with an example found here:

http://www.mece.ualberta.ca/tutorials/ansys/CL/CAT/BirthDeath/Print.html

 At the end of the example is the paragraph below.  I want to know how to do this!  Can anyone modify the code for me?  I don't even know where to start.  I would be very grateful!  

Ansys modelling - how to apply load combination- one variable and other constant

My ANSYS model is a plate. i need to apply two different loads on the model, one an out-of-plane load and the other an in-plane load. Out of the two loads one load should be kept constant during the analysis and the other load needs to be varied in incremental steps. Is there any way to keep one load constant and increment only the other load in the ANSYS analysis?

I am developing an FEA code for a viscoelastic contact analysis. Right now the formulation is assuming small deformations. After deformation I am getting the volume of the body to be less than the original. I want to preserve the volume. ANSYS gives exact results as my code by carrying a normal contact analysis.

formatting ansys 'list nodal solution' output

Hello,

Is there any way to change the output format when selecting 'postproc>list results>nodal solution' in ansys. I want to copy this data and load it in excel but there is text located throughout the file every 50 lines or so. The output contains something like 3000 nodal values and every 50 nodes or so the file has some redundant text. Therefore, if I want to manipulate the data i have to cut out the text which can take several hours if the file is large. Currently the output looks something like this:

381 853.15 0.39371 0.15505 852.99 852.87
