I am running an APDL structural simulation with mechanical load steps. Sometimes, the model will fail to converge. Under these situations, I would like APDL to run a separate set of commands, rather than terminate the simulation.
Basically, I am looking for some sort of error handling, try/catch technique like is common in many programming languages. Is this possible?
Dear Edmand,
Please clarify, what sort of error you are getting? Its easy to debug the error only if we can understand the error definition.
Hi Arun,
Thank you for responding. My question is not related to the type of error. My question is related to error handling (also known as error trapping). Lots of software has technique to handle errors (rather than just throwing an error and terminating). See this the page, something like this, but for APDL":https://wiki.python.org/moin/HandlingExceptions
I haven't heard and experienced the error handling in ANSYS program (the way you explained it). The only thing I know is that you can find what command caused issue while the program was running in the log file, therefore, you can work around the problem. There are two types of error in ansys which are minor and major error. Once ansys face a minor error just prompts a warning massage in log file that this explicit command is ignored or interpreted in such... However it moves on to next command. In case of major error, it prompts error massage and the code will be terminated. Hope this answer helps.
Claudio,
This is fantastic indeed. Where these codes can be inserted as command snippet considering the analysis should be done in workbench? Is it possible to reiterate the analysis using this method?
