Xuan Zhou

what software do you use? If you konw the size of this component, I think you can extract the mid surface by coordinates.

D. M.

Hi Xuan,

I am using ansys workbench...

Can you explain how can I extract mid surface by coordinates...

Abdulamir Almayah

you can do that by:

1. choose select from main menu

2. by coordinates

3. in the dialog box write the coordinates for x or y or z ( one axis only is need to be selected)

4. then from main menu click on RE-PLOT

sorry, it's too late to discuss with you!

Can you tell me why you want to extract the mid surface? After you mesh the body, you can select the mid surface by coordinates of nodes. For example, if your mid surface is in XY plane, you can define "z=(0-0.01,0+0.01)", in this way you will get all node of "z=0", so you extract the mid surface.

And, It is just a thought. I have no idea about how to extract the mid surface by using ANSYS Workbench . Sorry!
