I just used this and it seems to work okay in v19.0. It also works to extract Moments. One difference: Use the command "SPOINT " to state the summation point, prior to the FSUM command. Then use *get,,FSUM,,ITEM,MX to extract the moment in x direction, for example. Re-run *get command to extract MY and MZ moments with separate output labels.

Hi Brian, I was able to speak to the engineer who created this video and his response to your question is below: The same approach can be used but the command snippet that is used in the Solution branch in the model shown in the video needs to be modified slightly. Specifically, the SET command must be changed to SET,3,1. A third field on the SET command can also be added to control the sigma level of the result produced by the command snippet. For instance, SET,3,1,3 would yield 3 sigma results. If this field is left blank it will default to 1 sigma results. Again, this is use at your own risk, as it is not QA'd by Ansys Inc. If you have any other questions or are interested in any of the services I listed before, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at info@simutechgroup.com

Can this approach be used for random vibration?
