Getting Started with ANSYS APDL: Resources for Beginners

[suresh756]

i am new to the APDL in ansys and i need some basic books or sites to learn APDL

 

[kanif]

I have modeled in ansys now i want it's apdl coding from that model.how can i get it?

open Ansys, file -> List -> Log File

i have modeled 8 layer shell beam. in ansys i want stress and strain in each ply, how will i get it.

 

[nemolemon]

i have modeled 8 layer shell beam. in ansys i want stress and strain in each ply, how will i get it.

after the solution is done, select "General Postproc->plot result->contour plot" to see the cloud pictures or select "General Postproc->list result->Nodal Solution (or Element Solution)" to see the data.

i have modeled 8 layer shell beam. in ansys i want stress and strain in each ply, how will i get it.
"General Postproc->list result->Nodal Solution (or Element Solution)" with this i am getting thousands of element stresses
But i want only SMX(maximum stress), SMN(min.stress),deflection on 8 layer.
how to get that?

OK, if you are using Ansys Workbench, the SMX and SMN are automatically listed. While in Ansys Classic, u can use Matlab to deal with the data to find the SMX and SMN

1)HOW? i.e please tell me the step how model deal with MATLAB?

 

[kanif]

i want to run ANSYS using matlab.
so how intrface these?
please.tell me

gravity spring in ansys

Dear friends,
how can define gravity spring in fluid80(ansys)? or that is a default in this element?
regards

Dear friends.
I have created a model (woven fabric) for my projects and include in matrix box in order to get the stress strain curve. Unfortunately I can’t get it and errors keep on occur (this model requires more scratch space than currently available). I have already done the element type, Boolean operation (glue) between woven fabric and matrix box, material properties and element meshing. I am doing structure analysis on my model. Kindly could anyone please give me any suggestion for this problem? Thank you in advance.
Regards.

HI,
i was using ANSYS APDL 12 and there was a "design opt" in the main menu tree to the left. it s for design optimization. however now i built my model in ansys apdl 15 but there s no longer "design opt" in it. any ideas how to apply design optimization in apdl 15??
thanks
