Property Controllers in ANSYS ACT

Customizations developed using ANSYS ACT adhere closely to the user experience that is native to Mechanical and other Workbench apps. Obviously, this is to be expected, but sometimes it can be ...

Experiences with Developing a “Somewhat Large” ACT Extension in ANSYS

With each release of ANSYS the customization toolkit continues to evolve and grow. Recently I developed what I would categorize as a decent sized ACT extension. My purpose in this post is to h...

Reading ANSYS Mechanical Result Files (.RST) from C/C++ (Part 3)

In the last post of this series I illustrated how I handled the nested call structure of the procedural interface to ANSYS’ BinLib routines. If you recall, any time you need to extract some inform...

Reading ANSYS Mechanical Result Files (.RST) from C/C++ (Part 2)

In the last post in this series I illustrated how you can interface C code with FORTRAN code so that it is possible to use the ANSYS, Inc. BinLib routines to read data off of an ANSYS result file with...

Reading ANSYS Mechanical Result Files (.RST) from C/C++ (Part 1)

Recently, I’ve encountered the need to read the contents of ANSYS Mechanical result files (e.g. file.rst, file.rth) into a C++ application that I am writing for a client. Obviously, these files are ...
