Dear XANSYS community,

I am an undergraduate student in the final year of my program, and I am
currently working on a project that involves using ANSYS APDL. I need to
create a sinusoidal geometry within ANSYS APDL, but as a novice user of the
software, I am not aware of any built-in functions or features that
directly facilitate the generation of such a geometry. I am primarily
focused on achieving the required resolution for the sinusoidal wave while
minimizing the need to define an excessive number of key points.

I would greatly appreciate any guidance, best practices, or recommended
techniques that could help me achieve this objective more efficiently.

Thank you,

Arsalaan Reyaz

Maybe you need to dig in LARC and /LARC commands. Above commands with the
classical L command should get you there.

Can you elaborate your suggestion a bit and explain how you would approach the problem. Are you hinting at creating multiple arcs to generate 1 sinusoidal wave?

I would recommend you start with a half sine wave then extend.

This is just at the top of my head. The peak of this wave is modeled using
LARC and the “sides” using 2 L commands You might require two LARCs and 2
L’s for each side. This can be re-generated as many times as needed, I
believe, using LGEN.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!
Mohammad

Hi Arsalaan,

Here is the snippet, may be this works for you. copy paste this in the command prompt. This is Half sine wave. You can play with the parameters. You can copy/reflect this to create full sine wave.

/CLEAR,NOSTART
/prep7
*do,i,0,90,1
afun,deg
y=sin(i)
k,i,i,y100
*enddo

*do,i,1,89,1
l,i,i+1
*enddo
finish

Thank you for the response. I appreciate your guidance. The method you suggested creates a number of key points then linearly connects them. I’m looking for an alternative to that strategy so that I can create a high resolution sine wave by not defining a large number of key points. So, in that regard can you provide any suggestion for implementing such model.

Thank you for your response, sir. I’ll try implementing this strategy in ANSYS APDL. In the mean time, can you suggest a way through which I can create a sine wave similar to how a circle is created by using only 4 key points so that I can avoid any kink in the geometry.

Hi,

you could use the snippet by Anjum, but instead of defining lines between the keypoints, use the command bspline,all to create a single line.
