Reply To: Exporting Failure Criteria to txt

[pedram.samadian]

Hi,

Thanks for contacting us. To expedite the process of exporting the maximum of the failure criteria (Puck, Tsai-Wu) per element to a .txt file in Ansys, you might consider using the 'Promote to Composite Failure Criteria' feature, which allows you to promote composite failure criteria over several load cases. This could potentially streamline your analysis by using a consistent definition for failure across different scenarios. You can use the 'Export Text File' command to export result data directly to a text file [1].

For more detailed instructions and options, you may refer to the Ansys documentation on User Defined Results Commands and the Composite Failure Tool [2]. These resources provide guidance on how to work with failure criteria in Ansys Mechanical and could offer insights into more efficient ways to handle your batch command operations.
