plot results from user defined ACT Extension

As a result of my simulation, I want the volume of a surface body (computed using a convex hull algorithm). This calculation is done in seconds but the plotting of the results takes a long time, which...

What's the smallest possible size for finite elements in FEA (structural) analyses?

As the mesh is refined, the computed solution will approach the true solution. Leaving aside the computational cost associated with a large number of elements, is there any numerical issue related to ...

There's no absolute limit, but there is a practical limit for a given numerical precision (i.e. 64-bit floating-point). Refining the mesh means adding up a larger and larger number of finer and finer ...

User-defined result on Ansys using ACT: how to compute volume of last substep only?

I use an ACT defined result code that compute the volume of a surface body post deformation. The volume is calculated using a convex hull function (in "scipy_Fun.py"). This code works well f...
