Hi,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I’m new to this Community but I’ve been working on this project for quite some time. I’m working with ANSYS APDL and I’m looking for a way to save the effects of loads acting on a body (like the thermal expansion of a body) in an MNF-File to create a Modal Force in Adams. Since the ADAMS-Macro of APDL generates the MNF-File by calculating the results of a CMS-File of the Model, I tried to include a thermal load in the CMS-Results according to “10.3 Sample Analysis Input” in the “Advanced Analysis Guide” by adding the following lines:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
– generation pass:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
– calculating the residual vector (RESVEC,on)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
– Apply load on nodes (BF,ALL,TEMP,temp_max)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
– use pass:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
– let the program output nodal forces in the use pass (ET,1,MATRIX50 and KEYOPT,1,6,1), but I think this just prints nodal forces to the output window<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
– Calculate element results, reaction forces etc. (MXPAND,_NMODES,,,YES)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
– Apply load vector on Elements (SFE,ALL,1,SELV,1,1)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
– expansion pass:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
– Let ANSYS output all results to the .rst-File (OUTRES,ALL,ALL)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After calculating the results of the CMS-Files I start the MNF-Function (MNF,_NMODES,_NSTATIC,_KSTRESS,_UseCMS) to generate the MNF-File. Unfortunately, after importing the MNF-File in Adams it does not include any load cases that could be applied to the flexible body using the Modal Force Function of Adams.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Also if I try to add another load vector to the substructure by restarting the generation pass (ANTYP,SUBTRUCTURE,RESTART), the following Error Message occures:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
” Segment numbering is incorrect. Please send the data leading to this
operation to your technical support provider, as this will allow
ANSYS, Inc to improve the program.” <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My Script referring to this case can be found in the uploaded files.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
