Harmonic Analysis with Ansys APDL: Obtaining Strain and Stress Solutions

[Tonino Sepe]

Hi everyone,
I have done the Harmonic Analysis of my model with Ansys APDL 17.0 (ACADEMIC version), and I have obtained only the DOF solution of my nodes but i need the Strain and Stress solution . How can I get it?
Thanks.

If you've solved the simulation then it's probably only a matter of finding the correct command. Have you looked through ANSYS's documentation regarding Harmonic simulations? You might also check this example: http://www.ansys.stuba.sk/html/guide_55/g-str/GSTR4.htm

I have already checked the Ansys documentation and the example, i know how to plot the strain of a node vs frequency range but the problem is that these informations after the analysis there aren't. I don't know why.

Are you sure your problem is coming to a solution?

 

[Tonino Sepe]

I think yes, the analysis is correct.

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

Sorry, I haven't used the feature you're trying to. What specific features of your geometry are you trying to optimize for harmonic response?

I m trying to update my FE model with the harmonic test results (i.e. compare FRF results from analysis and test)
