parameters and their values can be quickly retrieved from the solution output files of all

designs as a table. To do this, select all exported model files and select “Retrieve parameters”

from the context menu. The parameters are put into a table in a new window:

The button “Copy” will place the table content into the clipboard so that you can easily paste

it into an Excel table or a text file for further processing.

Important!

Only parameters that are computed using the “After solution” solution macro are

considered:

Important! At the current stage of development, only Ansys® macros are taken into account.

Automatic extraction of solution parameters is only possible for assemblies solved with

Ansys®.

Modal superposition and frequency responses

The modal superposition tool in Meshparts offers you a meaning to:

1.

Compute Bode plots of the frequency response to a single harmonic (sinus-shaped)

excitation force

2.

Visualize the vibration of the model at different frequency points on the Bode curve

3.

Exporting your finite element assembly to Scilab/Xcos and MATLAB/Simulink to

perform very fast and accurate simulations in time domain.

4.

Import the time domain results from Scilab/Xcos into Meshparts and expand the 1D

results to 3D results of the FE model.

The single precondition to the modal superposition tool is the availability of modal results

(eigenvalues and eigenvectors) for the model.
