texgen to ansys

Hi, how to convert the texgen files to ansys. Thank you

[UOMO]

Hello, the fastest solution is through Hyperworks... Import as Abaqus, export as Ansys format... However, most likely you will lose the material orientation for the yarns... But then you can fix that by writing a small script (In Matlab for example) that "translate" abaqus direction vectors in the .ori file to Local coordinate system in Ansys. Same situation with periodic boundary conditions... Observe that both commercial softwares cannot impose more than once a DOF in a constraint equation, then the linear combination is used.

I you don't have access to Hyperworks, then I would think about writing a Matlab script that can do the translation ... It's not complicated... Good luck and let us know.
Best Regards.

Hi,
There is also a tutorial on using TexGen with Ansys for CFD here: http://texgen.sourceforge.net/workshop/ ... alysis.pdf This uses an import script which is available in the TexGen downloads page. There are also instructions for importing directly into Ansys/CFX here: http://texgen.sourceforge.net/index.php ... CFX_Export

Hopefully this or the previous post will answer your query.
Best regards,
Louise

Indeed, I've written a script to "translate the information exported for Abaqus into Ansys parametric design language (APDL)". How complicated would be to incorporate it directly into TexGen? It Could reduce my time of text processing...

Hi Uomo,

That sounds great and it shouldn't be difficult to incorporate this into TexGen. If you could send the script I could take a look.

Thanks,
Louise

Sorry for late reply, I was out office...
Sure! No problem... I have already sent it to your work mail.

Hi UOMO, I am trying to convert TexGen files (inp, ori, etc.) to ANSYS. It seems you have a solution. Could you please share the script and provide some guidance? Thank you in advance!
