Hi, I generate a general cantilever beam and simulate it with ANSYS APDL, I would like to extract the complete record of my simulation in terms of commands, but the problem is that when I finished the simulation and save it, there is no any log file. I have no idea why it will happen, could any one help me to deal with this issue? Thanks

Dear SandeepMedikonda

Thanks for answering my question, I did check the link you provide, I could find the way to get the log file, but the problem is that if I paste the command into the APDL command window, It just could not work. Do you have any ideas why this situation will happen? I also attached the log file.

Best Regards,

Li

Li,

I can't download the file. 

What specific command are you referring to? Can you copy paste them as text and use Preformatted text option?

Regards,
Sandeep

You do not have a mesh, BC loads and do not solve anything, so it is just setting up your graphical display (all the commands) - then though you are trying to plot displacements, pldisp command and of course it will tell you there is nothing to plot (no results).

 

You would need to have a model and something to solve, and then one can plot results.

 

You can also look up all these commands in the log file in the help, search for command reference.

 

In the ansys verification manual you can get sample input files that include models  and solutions which you can look at and try to understand.

Sorry about my late reply, I will take a look at my log file again and get back as soon as possible if there are some other issues that might occur. Thanks for all the helps.
