Importing Mechanical Apdl geometry in Ansys Workbench

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the process of importing geometry defined in Mechanical APDL into ANSYS Workbench, with a focus on maintaining the ability to modify geometry and meshing. Participants explore methods for achieving this integration and the use of APDL code within Workbench.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Conceptual clarification, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks to import geometry from Mechanical APDL into ANSYS Workbench to allow for flexible modifications.
  • Another participant questions how the geometry is constructed in APDL and suggests using a "Command" object in Workbench to incorporate APDL code.
  • A participant explains that the geometry was created in the GUI of Mechanical APDL and is saved in a log file, which can be reused to recreate the geometry.
  • One participant expresses a desire to use their existing APDL code in Workbench but is unsure how to implement it.
  • Some participants recommend looking at a tutorial to assist with using APDL commands in Workbench.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on the best method to import and utilize APDL geometry in Workbench, and multiple approaches are suggested without resolution.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations regarding the specifics of how APDL code can be effectively integrated into Workbench, and the discussion does not clarify the necessary steps or potential challenges involved.

Who May Find This Useful

Users of ANSYS Workbench and Mechanical APDL who are interested in integrating geometry and utilizing APDL commands within the Workbench environment.

hi.. i want to import only the geometry defined in mechanical apdl into ansys workbench so that i want to have the freedom to change the geometry and meshing whenever i want to. thankyou

How is the geometry constructed in APDL? Have you considered just created a "Command" object in Workbench and copying the APDL code in there?
 
The geometry was once created in GUI in Mechanical APDL and after that it was written in log file which is a .txt format. After that every time I want to recreate the geometry, I just put in those commands in command section and I get the same geometry. Can I do it in ANSYS Workbench as well?
 
Yes, I want to do it. Use the code that I use in APDL to model it in Workbench but i don't know how to use that coding in Workbench.
