Simulation is pretty *cool* but how *cool* is it really?
Back in 2024 I presented a little introduction to simulation at PyCon. Introduction to Simulation And in that presentation I asked a fundamental physics question. If a heavy cat sits on a bridge of ice. Does that bridge break? But in that situation everything was simply two dimensional (to save time). But what if it…

Issue in Results and RST File After Using Remove API in ANSYS Mechanical Tree
The Python code executes successfully; however, post-execution issues are observed in specific analysis types. For Static Structural analysis, the plot legend changes automatically, and the result contours appear only in red or blue, deviating from the original color scale. For Electro-Thermal (ET) analysis, the result…

Rotate results to CS for each time point
Does someone have an example of taking an APDL element CS and getting stress results in relation to that system for each time point with DPF? I want to use the geo.rotate operator and an operator to get the element CS with its corresponding Euler angles from the .rst file for each time point. I see this operator, but not…
