GET Function Summary

A "get function" is available for some items, and can be used instead of the *GET command. The function returns the value and uses it where the function is input (bypassing the need for storing the value with a parameter name and inputting the parameter name where the value is to be used). For example, assume the average X-location of two nodes is to be calculated. Using the *GET command, parameter L1 can be assigned the X location of node 1 (*GET, L1, NODE, 1, LOC, X), and parameter L2 can be assigned the X location of node 2, then the mid location can be computed from MID = (L1+L2)/2. However, using the node location "get function" NX(N), which returns the X location of node N, MID can be computed directly from MID = (NX(1)+NX(2))/2, without the need for intermediate parameters L1 and L2. Get functions return values in the active coordinate system unless stated otherwise.

Get function arguments may themselves be parameters or other get functions. The get function NELEM(ENUM,NPOS) returns the node number in position NPOS for element ENUM. Combining functions, NX(NELEM(ENUM,NPOS)) returns the X location of that node. Get functions (where available) are shown with the corresponding *GET items in the tables below and are summarized at the end of this command description

Get functions are described at the beginning of this command (see "Notes") and are shown as alternatives to the *GET items where they apply. They are summarized here (grouped by functionality) for convenience.

Angles (in radians by default -- see the *AFUN command)
ANGLEN(N1,N2,N3)	Subtended angle between two lines (defined by three nodes where N1 is the vertex node). Default is in radians.
ANGLEK(K1,K2,K3)	Subtended angle between two lines (defined by three keypoints where K1 is the vertex keypoint). Default is in radians.
Nearest to Entity
NNEAR(N)	Selected node nearest node N.

For 3–D, select all the nodes of the surface of interest before using ARNODE.
Normals
NORMNX(N1,N2,N3)	X-direction cosine of the normal to the plane containing nodes N1, N2, and N3.

Returns information about the data base manager
VIRTINQR(1)	Number of pages in core.
VIRTINQR(4)	Page size in integer words.
VIRTINQR(7)	Maximum number of pages allowed on disk.
VIRTINQR(8)	Number of read/write operations on page.
VIRTINQR(9)	Maximum record number on page.
VIRTINQR(11)	Maximum pages touched.
Returns the current value of ANSYS filtering keywords.
KWGET(KEYWORD)	Returns the current value the keyword specified by KEYWORD. See the ANSYS UIDL Programmer's Guide for a list of keywords and values.
Character String Functions Strings must be dimensioned (see *DIM) as a character parameter or enclosed in single apostrophes ('char').
Functions which return a double precision value of a numeric character string.
VALCHR(a8)	a8 is a decimal value expressed in a string.
VALOCT (a8)	a8 is an octal value expressed in a string.
VALHEX(a8)	a8 is a hex value expressed in a string.
Functions which return an 8 character string of a numeric value.
CHRVAL (dp)	dp is a double precision variable.
CHROCT (dp)	dp is an integer value.
CHRHEX(dp)	dp is an integer value.
Functions which manipulate strings: StrOut is the output string (or character parameter) Str1 and Str2 are input strings. Strings are a maximum of 128 characters. (see *DIM)
StrOut = STRSUB(Str1, nLoc,nChar)	Get the nChar substring starting at character nLoc in Str1.
StrOut = STRCAT(Str1,Str2)	Add Str2 at the end of Str1.
StrOut = STRFILL(Str1,Str2,nLoc)	Add Str2 to Str1 starting at character nLoc.
StrOut = STRCOMP(Str1)	Remove all blanks from Str1
StrOut = STRLEFT(Str1)	Left-justify Str1
nLoc = STRPOS(Str1,Str2)	Get starting location of Str2 in Str1.
nLoc = STRLENG(Str1)	Location of last nonblank character
StrOut = UPCASE(Str1)	Upper case of Str1
StrOut = LWCASE(Str1)	Lower case of Str1
The following functions manipulate file names.
Path String = JOIN ('directory','filename','extension')	Produces a contiguous pathstring. e.g. directory/filename.ext
Path String = JOIN ('directory','filename')	Produces a contiguous pathstring. e.g. directory/filename
SPLIT('PathString', 'DIR')	Produces a separate output of the directory from the pathstring.
SPLIT('PathString', 'FILE')	Produces a separate output of the complete filename (with extension) from the pathstring.
SPLIT('PathString', 'NAME')	Produces a separate output of the filename from the pathstring.
SPLIT('PathString', 'EXT')	Produces a separate output of the file extension from the pathstring.
