Hello,

I applied the follwoing code to get the rotation of a remote point for every time step. I get the same values for both steps which correspond to the final step. I'm definitely doing something wrong. Any suggestions?

!Time step config 

total_time=1

time_steps=2

time_inc=total_time/time_steps

 

*cfopen,'E:\ANSYS MODEL\results','txt'

*do,time,time_inc,total_time,time_inc

    SET, time

    pinion_rotz = ROTZ(pinion_pilot)

    wheel_rotz = ROTZ(wheel_pilot)

    pinion_rotz = pinion_rotz*180/pi

    wheel_rotz = wheel_rotz*180/pi

    

    *vwrite, time, pinion_rotz, wheel_rotz

    (F10.6)

*enddo

*cfclos ! close the output file

 

Thanks,
