In matlab, I use statements like this "s1="E:ANSYS2022ANSYSv221ansysbinwinx64ANSYS221.exe -b -i C:UsersLYDesktoptesttxt write to override experimenttest01 (test).txt -o C:UsersLYDesktoptesttxt to write override experiment"; "to call ansys and execute the command stream I've written.Now I hope that in this way I can save the calculated stress contour diagram, I don't know if this way is possible, I hope you can help me achieve this requirement. I've used a statement like this in the picture in the command flow, but I can't save the stress contour diagram. However, I opened ansys APDL and imported the written command stream (.txt) text, which saved the stress contours

Hi Yinzhong

In Batch mode (the -b flag on the command line) there is no graphics window to capture.  Instead use the /SHOW command to redirect a plot to a file:

/eshape,1,,

/show,png

plnsol,s,eqv

/show

Thank you very much, I managed to save the picture, but it didn't meet my expectations, I want to be able to save the 3D model, not a line. That's how I modeled it .

Looks like the /eshape,1 is missing

[Yinzhong Hu]

The command I used was:
/eshape,1,,

 

/show,png

 

plnsol,s,eqv

 

/show
I used the /eshape,1 command, and now I'm confused

Hi Yinzhong

Sorry, I forgot about the /GRAPHICS command!  We need to change the graphics display as well to Power Graphics.  So try:

/post1
set,last
/graph,power
/eshape,1
/view,1,1,1,1
eplot
/show,png
plnsol,s,eqv
/show
/rep
finish

Thank you, this way I open Mecheanical APDL Product Launcher, and then read the file I wrote in advance (.dat) can meet the requirements. But I use matlab invoking ansys (" s1 = "E: ANSYS2022ANSYSv221ansysbinwinx64ANSYS221. Exe - b - C: I UsersLYDesktoptesttxt write to override experimenttest01 (test).txt -o C:UsersLYDesktoptesttxt to write override experiment";) There are still problems. As you can see from the result file, the program will stop at this step (plnsol,s,eqv), and eventually the program will stop running. I wonder if there is something wrong with my ansys setup?
