Hello @Andrei ,
Sorry for the delay in responding.
Yes, I managed to export an Ansys Mechanical model into Paraview, firstly by opening the model in Ansys MAPDL and, laboriusly, manually, exporting it from there and then converting all the data into AVS UCD file format. It is ONLY for LINEAR elements (This is, 4-node tetrahedra, 8-node hex, and so on). Again, this is very time consuming, not recommendable, but still possible.
From MAPDL:
-Export the Ansys mesh using CDWRITE command
-Export the Ansys results using the PRNSOL command
Then from any text editor:
-Process and assembly all the files into a single AVS UCD file
-Save this file with the .inp extension, and Paraview will read it with this format
I am very interested in the vtk file format, with the macro that you posted, I tried but still didnt make it work correctly, I am almost there…
On the other hand, in the video posted, it seems to me that they have a custom ACT (this is an App Customization Toolkit inside Ansys), but not all the Ansys users have access to this particular converter to VTK.
Regards
