Qual a melhor forma de representar esse carregamento distruibuido? Para 1D eu usei a função Line Pressure, mas para 2D e 3D como seria?

Hi everyone,

I'm an aeronautical engineering student looking to master ANSYS for the industry. Which specific modules and skills should I prioritize to be job-ready?

I’m particularly curious about:

• ANSYS ACP (Composites)
• CFD (Fluent/CFX)
• Meshing standards for complex aero-structures
• Explicit Dynamics (Crash/Impact)

What are the "must-haves" for a junior engineer in your experience?

I'm trying to locate this element because it keeps erroring out on this specific element but I don't know how to show where this element is

Hi everyone,

I'm running a parametric study using the Parameter Set in Workbench (Ansys 2025 R2) and I need some help extracting data.

The Goal: Export the time-history data (Force and Deformation for all substeps) to a CSV/TXT file for each Design Point.

The Setup:

My geometry is updated via SpaceClaim for each DP, so the topology changes. Because of this, I'm strictly using Named Selections to scope my results.

I've tried using User Defined Results (Expression: UY) and Deformation Probes scoped to these Named Selections.

I'm using a Python Code object in the tree (Target Callback: After Post) to export the data.

The Problem:

When I run the Design Points, Mechanical runs in the background (GUI is closed). Because the GUI is closed, calling resultado.TabularData or using resultado.ExportToTextFile() throws an error (e.g., 'UserDefinedResult' object has no attribute 'TabularData' or Index out of range). The API seems to disable tabular extraction for these objects when running in batch mode.

The Question:

What is the simplest, most robust way to extract this time-history data using Python when the Mechanical GUI is closed? Do I have to dig into DPF, or is there a simpler workaround to get the Tabular Data out of a Named Selection while in background mode?

Any tips or snippets would save my life. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m working on electromagnetic/physics simulations in semiconductors and I’m trying to set up a workflow where I can systematically study how geometry affects the results.

More specifically, I need to simulate wave propagation (or similar field behavior) in semiconductor structures, and run multiple experiments where the geometry (length, width, thickness, etc.) is treated as a parametric variable.

The idea is to automate everything so I can efficiently run sweeps over different geometrical configurations instead of manually setting up each simulation.

So far, I’ve already had some experience using PyAEDT, mainly for automating HFSS setups and basic parametric studies. Now I’m looking to extend this workflow and integrate more advanced automation, potentially using tools like PyMechanical (and possibly other Ansys-related Python APIs).

What I’m trying to achieve:

• Fully parametric geometry definition (dimensions as inputs)
• Automated meshing + solver runs
• Batch execution over multiple geometry sets
• Post-processing of results (field distribution, transmission, etc.)
• Ideally a clean Python pipeline for reproducibility

My questions:

• Is PyMechanical a good choice for this kind of semiconductor + wave simulation workflow, or should I stay within PyAEDT / HFSS automation?
• How do people usually structure large parametric sweeps efficiently in Python for this kind of physics problem?
• Any recommended design patterns for organizing geometry parameters and simulation runs?
• If anyone has examples or best practices for combining PyAEDT with other Ansys Python tools, that would be really helpful.

Would appreciate any guidance or references to similar workflows.

When I went to run a playback of my simulation, it added a random mountain image to the background. I cant see a setting to change it. Any help would be great.

I am able to apply a shock in the positive direction with nothing but the default analysis tools, but it looks like they completely leave out negative direction loads, as entering them isn't possible.

Is there a way to do that? I am using NRLSUM mode combination if that means anything.

I'm a materials engineering student and I've spent

the last few months building Corvanix — a desktop

app that automatically converts ANSYS files

(.wbpz, .rst, .cas, .dat) into professional

PDF reports.

What it does:

- Extracts solver data automatically

- AI-powered convergence assessment

- Risk assessment + engineering recommendations

Honest question: Would you actually use something

like this? What's missing? What would make it

a no-brainer for your workflow?

Drop a comment or DM — happy to share a demo.

When i click file in spaceclaim it shows me a blank page any solution?
