 want to save the modeshapes from Workbench externally with APDL Command. For this I have the following code. However, the code does not always work or only for the x-values and not always there. I cannot find the error.


set,first
*dim,shape_x,table,4,4
*do,ii,1,4
set,1,ii
*get,MP1,node,400,U,x
shape_x(ii,1)=MP1
*get,MP2,node,357,U,x
shape_x(ii,2)=MP2
*get,MP3,node,205,U,x
shape_x(ii,3)=MP3
*ENDDO

*dim,shape_y,table,4,4
*do,ii,1,4
set,1,ii
*get,MP1,node,400,U,y
shape_y(ii,1)=MP1
*get,MP2,node,357,U,y
shape_y(ii,2)=MP2
*get,MP3,node,205,U,y
shape_y(ii,3)=MP3
*ENDDO

*dim,shape_z,table,4,4
*do,ii,1,4
set,1,ii
*get,MP1,node,400,U,z
shape_z(ii,1)=MP1
*get,MP2,node,357,U,z
shape_z(ii,2)=MP2
*get,MP3,node,200,U,z
shape_z(ii,3)=MP3
*ENDDO

*CFOPEN,modes,txt
*vwrite,shape_x(1,1),shape_x(1,2),shape_x(1,3),shape_y(1,4),shape_y(1,5),shape_y(1,6),shape_z(1,7),shape_z(1,8),shape_z(1,9)
