Hello!

I am trying to get from Image two too image one with scripting. I am having trouble setting the I want to set the distance to tabular data and set the indipendant variable and X-axis to "Y" as seen in the 2nd phtot. The third photo is the script I have so far. Does anyone know the sintax?

 

Also does anyone know how I could inport data from an excel sheet into the tabular data? It says I have to use XML format but is there an easier way. I know I can attactch my excel file to the ansys workbench and define as variables. But i feel that since I have 250 variables it would be ineficent for displacment data. Your help would and advice wold be greatly appreciated!

Hi

Try using script recording to record your actions and to convert those (that can be converted) to equivalent act mechanical scripts.

Also search the discuss forum where we should have examples of this and many other scripts (also post any script related in that dedicated forum).

https://discuss.ansys.com/

(an example is here say: https://discuss.ansys.com/discussion/3375/how-to-create-a-nodal-displacement-on-a-named-selection

https://discuss.ansys.com/discussion/119/define-tabular-force-through-mechanical-scripting)

All the best
