    Undocumented commands & features

  • Vector operations and commands

    Sheldon Imaoka (CSI)

    Vector notation/functions in ANSYS allow the user to execute some of these *DO loops in a much more efficient manner. Instead of looping through individual functions, vector functions act upon arrays, resulting in faster execution times. This memo will provide some basic/introductory examples on the use of *VGET as well as the undocumented vector notation.

  • Introduction to Hidden Parameters

    John Crawford

    An introduction to hidden parameters, those which begin or end with an underscore. Use of parameters with a trailing underscore can be used to "hide" macro parameters if they are to be shared by several users.

  • ANSYS and Tcl/Tk Customization
