Matlab - ANSYS interface

Submitted by nabeel963030 on Wed, 2010-02-17 21:44.

I am woking on an optimization problem. In this optimization problem I want to use Matlab and ANSYS. In which MATLAB initiating the optimization problem, and send input values to ANSYS, then ANSYS find some results and send it to Matlab...then continue the optimization process.

Can any one help me to do these comunications between Matlab and ANSYS?

MATLAB <--> ANSYS

Submitted by Martin J. Gross on Thu, 2010-02-18 08:40.

Hi Nabeel,

I wrote my masters thesis in MATLAB and ANSYS. So, I steered my ANSYS
FE-simulations with MATLAB. If you are interested in the thesis or if
you have questions, please contact me.

Just a question. Are you forced to do the stuff with MATLAB and ANSYS? What about PYTHON with SciPy, NumPy and matplotlib instead of MATLAB. It is open scource and has a lot of nice and helpfull features (OK not as much as MATLAB). SciPy contains a optimization library, if this is not enough, you can take a look on CVXopt

Python <--> Ansys

I can surely second this opinion. I recently programmed a parameter identification tool for Abaqus -- took me less than 3 days to code the whole thing (and to make it very user friendly). Python is an excellent tool for this purpose - a non-complex programming sysntax, lightweight and the availability of extensive libraries.

If you do plan to use python, let me know, I could perhaps provide some help.

Cheers

Arun

hi Arun I am very new to PYTHON can u please to tell me how to use it n can me plase give me some small examples where it is useful in MECHANICAL DOMAIN Specially in FEA field. Actually i need to know how the Coding is done. Is it done for the whole Analysis of what we carry out in any FEA software or it used for particular things like MESH REFINEMENT , BOUNDARY CONDITIONS..... So i except to give some where it is used in FEA domain.... Please reply me to ravikumar_04333@yahoo.com

Hi Martin

i want to model a beam and analys with ansys (modal or harmonic analys), i work with ansys GUI and i would like to send its output and results to matlab for training a neural network .

Can help me to do these comunications between Matlab and ANSYS?or can you send me any example about importing ansys results in matlab.
