Hello,

I have an APDL input file I have written to set up and solve a simple model of a beam structure, then populate some text files with stress and deflection results for a number of load steps. I have macros to write and append the numeric results and all works smoothly but I was asked by an internal customer to write a file with text strings for each load case.

I am using *VWRITE with the format descriptors for the numeric values without issue, but *VWRITE for the text string file has me flummoxed. ANSYS Help and the PADT article are helpful with the concept, but I’m wondering if anyone has a sample snippet for the text format descriptors which they would toss over the wall.

Apologies in advance for my laziness and to the FORTRAN true believers.

Thanks.

Hi Rob,

Here is a snippet:

*cfopen,bend_stress,txt
*vwrite
(/,'Bend',2X,'Chainage',3x,'L_Angle',3x,'V_Angle',2X,'Radius',4X,'DOC',2x,'Soil',3x,'Stress',3x,'Displ',3x,'Displ_z',2x,'Tensile
Strain %',2x,'Comp Strain %'/)
*vwrite,
Bnd_seq(1),Bnd_chn(1),Bnd_Lang(1),Bnd_ang(1),Bnd_rad(1),Bnd_doc(1),Bnd_soil(1),Bnd_str(1),Bnd_dpl(1),Bnd_dplz(1),Bnd_stn(1,1),Bnd_stn(1,2)
(F4.0,F11.0,F9.2,F10.2,F8.0,F7.0,F6.0,F9.1,F9.0,F9.0,F18.6,F15.6)
*cfclos

The columns all line up correctly in the text file, but I recall it being a
bit finicky to set up initially.

Hi Rob,

Something like this.. where RES is the array with columns of results...for example

*CFOPEN,results_file.csv
*vwrite,
("Node,LOCX,LOCY,LOCZ ,SEQV")
*vwrite,RES(1,1),RES(1,2),RES(1,3),RES(1,4),RES(1,5)
%8d,%16.9g,%16.9g,%16.9g,%16.9g
*CFCLOS

Regards,
Pedro
