I am using ANSYS Workbench 2024 R2 and 2025 R2 for structural analyses. I'd like to be able to access SMXB and SMNB through the PyDPF available within Mechanical. I could not find anything in the documentation, so was curious if there was a way to access these values that are historically obtained via plotting with…
If I have a body-shell compose by several faces, How can I automatically split it in different separated bodies?
I'm currently working on a problem that requires me to use the deformed geometry from Static Structural analysis in Ansys Workbench to Ansys HFSS. The problem is that I find it very difficult to add excitations in Ansys HFSS because of the mesh. I was wondering if there was any way to smooth the surface so that it would be…
Dear Ansys medini analyze Development Team, We are currently considering a model-based safety analysis workflow compliant with ARP4754B / ARP4761A, using Cameo Systems Modeler for system design and Ansys medini analyze for safety analysis. In this workflow, we would like to define and manage system functions in Cameo,…
I have created Named Selections in SpaceClaim for both: Surface bodies (shell bodies) Faces of solid bodies In ANSYS Mechanical, I want to automatically create contacts between the shell-body Named Selections and the corresponding solid-body face Named Selections using scripting. I am currently able to create these…
