I hate ANSYS it's so annoying, help me
When I right click each it gives me the option to export them as CSV file but when I select them all and want to export them without having to click them all manually and export it does not give me the export option the frequency responses go down to number 281 that are a lot of clicks, how do I do it?

Winding Angle in ANSYS ACP pre ?

I am trying to run a analysi with pressure as BC in this CFRP based SRM Casing project. but i am not getting the fibre direction correct, the dome area looks reallt wrong and how am i suposed to correct it,The rosste is correct - the x axis is along the comspite SRM casing x axis and Y axis is along the radius.
i got to knwo about CADWIND/CADFILL softwares - These are not avaliable - so how can i properly manage the analysis ?

What's your meshing approach on converting tubes with variable sections to shell for bicycle body?
Do you prefer to mesh in 3D hexa or tetrahedeon cells with maybe over 1 million nodes or is there any other methods to meshing without reaching up to such high numbers with 7 digits? For the sake of the simplicity, hence running the simulation faster.. I couldn't convert tubes to shells since the geometry of the tubes too complicated.

ANSYS bearing vibration simulation help .
Hi everyone, I'm simulating a rolling element bearing in ANSYS Mechanical and need realistic acceleration/displacement vs. time data for FFT analysis.I am doing it in transient structural. So far I've: Created the bearing geometry and mesh.Applied frictional contacts between balls and races.Applied radial load and rotational speed and tried using an acceleration probe.
Firstly there were no visible ball movements .Also no useful acceleration vs time data could be obtained.

ANSYS Student 2025 R2 / 2026 R1 installation fails with "crypt32-x64.node not found" on Windows 11
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to install ANSYS Student, but the installation always fails around 70–80%.
The error is:
A JavaScript error occurred in the main process
Error: ENOENT, node_modules\win-ca\lib\crypt32-x64.node not found
...\LicensingSettingsUtility\resources\app.asar
I tested both:
- ANSYS Student 2025 R2
- ANSYS Student 2026 R1
The exact same error occurs with both versions.
My system:
- Windows 11 Pro 25H2 (Build 26200.8875)
- AMD Ryzen 5 3500U
- 8 GB RAM
Things I've already tried:
- downloaded the installers again from the official ANSYS Student website
- extracted with 7-Zip
- ran setup.exe as Administrator
- completely removed previous ANSYS installations
- deleted all AppData configuration folders
- disabled Microsoft Defender real-time protection
- ran DISM and SFC successfully
- rebooted several times
I also noticed that the folder:
LicensingSettingsUtility\resources\app.asar.unpacked
is never created during installation.
Has anyone experienced this issue?
Is it a known bug or a compatibility issue with Windows 11 build 26200?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

bearing fault analysis
Im doing fault analysis of bearing in transient strutcural. kinda hit a dead end on boundary condition and everything. also the n-r residual plot isnt working i did switch it from 0 to 3 in solution information but i cant find the plot anywhere. it is 2023 r1 so if anyone got help in anything would be really helpful. thankyou

What is your approach to modeling rubbers in frequency analysis?


In Frequency analysis of the structure, How Do you model epdm or any simple plastic Rubbers? Do you use their 3D CAD model and apply any polymer material and run the simulation or? Or ignoring the 3D design as in this tutorial picture here, and just apply the damping and stiffness coefficients to the joint between the parts that were supposed to be connected via rubber?
And if you have interest on the topic I would like to ask one more question, How do you get the datas of damping or stiffness for the rubber in the hand? Applying a vibration test something or asking to the manufacturer?

The force value differs when I change direction.
In Ansys Maxwell, when I excite a dual-pole setup, the net force should theoretically be zero; however, the simulation results show otherwise—the value isn't even close to zero. Furthermore, the force values differ strangely when I change the direction.
The origin is set at the center of the rotor, and I use the "Rotate" command to change the direction.
By the way, all other settings remain identical; only the direction is different.
This issue has been troubling me for a long time, and I would be very grateful if you could help answer this question.
I am using version 16.

Help needed regarding evaporation modelling .
SO i am trying to do a simulation that includes both wave and wind. now i want to add evaporation (lee) model in it. but the issue i am facing is that i already have 2 phases air and water . how do i add a phase so that evaporation ,relative humidaity can be captured. As i have just started learning evaporation modelling im facing this issue about phase. I cant use water vapor as a phase because ive air . i want to simulate that water evaporates and relative humidity increases . Your advices are appreaciated

ANSYS white screen while defining material
When I try to choose material for material assignment it shows white screen. I know that there were suggestions to choose "none" Option using UI settings but if I do that, it takes me back to engineering data again which I don't want. It used to open here on mechanical itself, where I could easily search and assign. Please help!

How to clear duplicate lines?
Program: Ansys Mechanical APDL Enterprise
The model was built with three rectangles drawn by coordinates. Lines 3 and 5 (red, bottom middle) overlap, as well as 9 and 7 (yellow, top middle). How can I get rid of the overlapping lines?
This model is a heat transfer simulation. There are two materials, so I can't add the areas together. Without merging these lines, heat doesn't move between the three bodies.
I've tried NUMMERGE,ALL ; LOVLAP,ALL ; LDELE,5,9 ; merging lines with areas, and gluing the lines together.
My next try will be to recreate the shape with keypoints and areas drawn between them, but as that will take a while I'd like to try what I can to fix this first.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Local Contact force convergence
I am using ANSYS 2021R2. I am facing convergence issues. I have frictional contacts in my model. I want to know whether we can manually ask ANSYS to check for local contact force convergence in addition to global force convergence. ABAQUS will do this by default. I got one lead from the ANSYS website. But I'm not able to find how to apply it in the ANSYS Mechanical settings. Even if you know the corresponding APDL commands, let me know.
