How can I add logic (i.e. if-thens, etc) to my ANSYS batch file?
A11: ANSYS has much of the functionality of a programming language. In fact, much of the functionality is based on the underlying FORTRAN (sad that people use such an archaic language). You can compute parameters by calling any of the usual mathematical functions NOTCH_MD=sqrt(NOTCH_R*NOTCH_R-DUMMY2*DUMMY2) As another example you can use if-then logic to apply a certain load if a certain paramater (AXIAL in this case) is set *if,AXIAL,EQ,1,then !
