Interface with Ansys

Post by Civil3DResearch » Sat Apr 02, 2011 5:56 pm

I have a model in Ansys, I want to do updating for damage detection using an objective function that is a function of the mode shapes and natural frequencies.
I have acceleration time history at a few locations on the model that I want to use along with the analytical model for updating.
I need help on how to use OpenSees/Ansys interoperation.

If this is not possible, does anyone know any open source or other options for my work-flow?

Does anyone know how I can get VCUPDATE developed by Andrea Mordini. In the literature he(Mordini) says it is open source but I can't find it anywhere on the internet.
