Hi group, I haven't posted to Xansys in decades, but wanted to ask the community... 1. How interested are you in a live text prompt for Ansys Mechanical that accepts and executes APDL style commands? 2. What commands would you find most useful? In our sidebar for Ansys, we currently have graphics related functionality to control views (/view, /vup, /focus, /dist, /angle, /auto) and control visibility using body names and named selections. (show ..., hide ..., show only ..., etc). I'm curious, what other operations would be the most valuable? Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts.
