I hate ANSYS it's so annoying, help me

When I right click each it gives me the option to export them as CSV file but when I select them all and want to export them without having to click them all manually and export it does not give me the export option the frequency responses go down to number 281 that are a lot of clicks, how do I do it?

Engineering will be the death of me 💔🥀

After waiting for 9 effing hours now that I finally thought everything was properly set, my Ansys simulation crashed to an unknown error. And it isn't the first time. A few days ago, I waited for MORE THAN 10 HOURS only for the simulation to fail at the literal end. Like Ansys, I understand you don't like me. It's ok. To each their own. Or maybe you just like to pick my mistakes a little too much. But what is this behavior? If you want, tell me in the beginning that my model or setup has a flaw and it can't run but what's with telling me after running the simulation for forever 😭. And that too an unknown error? Like at least tell me what went wrong. I know RAM and ROM are enough and you previously ran this same simulation successfully for the same material with slightly more Young's modulus then why??? WHY?? At least in computer science, when you run the code, you get an error right away. Respect.

My heart is literally broken and it hurts so bad. Today the simulation failed three times. At the third time, my heart was beating so fast it could jump out. And I am literally crying. And engineering makes me cry all the time. Bet it has reduced my lifespan by 50% already (I might be understating the percentage).

Last semester, we were working on a motor speed controller as our project. In simulation, the circuit was showing accurate results and was working perfectly. But when we implemented the circuit on breadboard exactly as it was supposed to be, it didn't work. Like wow. Ok maybe we were neglectful. We verified. Rebuilt it like 50 times and did what not. And it just laughed back at us. Like what is this, now even the rigid physics laws have something against us?? The universe is playing with me. It's not funny. I don't even know if I'll make it out of this degree in one piece.

Every single time, I think I know this concept and I fully understand it, something goes wrong even when everything feels right. Oh and let's not forget about these random theorems, that even God doesn't know where the hell we'll apply them in our whole engineering career.

That's it. I just wanted to vent somewhere. Today was a really bad day (like every other day as an engineering student). My eyes are puffy from crying. I'll just cry to sleep. Peace ✌️ (for you, if not for me)

I feel like I'm not cut out for engineering and it hurts

It's been two years since I started my bachelor's in Mechatronics engineering. I really thought that this was what I wanted to do. But now I think it was me only ever convincing myself that I know what I want to do in my life. But I have not even once felt this sense of fulfilment of pursuing something I have wanted to do for a long time at least that's what I thought.

I don't even have a clear roadmap or a sense of direction towards my career. Like we are thrown assignments and projects at with really tight deadlines. And I never learn anything from them. We are taught advanced calculus, theorems, engineering principles. But we are not taught how to apply them. Like what even is Fourier transform. They just shove these hard concepts right down our throats how to do it and all. But I have never learnt the why. Why are we learning these concepts. Where would I need to apply these in my field. The syllabus is really vast. The process is highly rigorous that I never get time to explore their applications or the concepts themselves.

After four semesters, I can confidently say that I have not learnt even a single thing that makes sense to me or its relevance to my field or its applications. I feel like I'm going nowhere. I have a good enough gpa. But what am I supposed to do with it when I don't even know how to apply my so called learning that I had from my degree so far. Projects? I barely get through. Assignments? I rush them because of the short deadlines that we get. In a 4 to 5 months semester, where we are forced to complete everything while our convenience is never taken into consideration, my focus shifts from learning and my goal becomes completing the assigned tasks whether I do it with AI or any other way. I don't even remember what concepts I have learnt so far. There are so many formulas and I don't even know where they came from. Like in our electronics courses, we have been taught about s domain. God my whole day wasted trying to figure what even that is. This makes me lose interest in everything trying to keep up with getting concepts along with trying to maintain my gpa and cover the syllabus. We study about exponents logarithms but I don't know where they came from or what they are.

We just apply shit without knowing the theory behind it. And it makes me want to give up everything. I don't feel like I'm becoming an engineer. The only thing I got from it so far is anxiety, stress, hypertension, poor teamwork experience. I feel so overwhelmed.

I would really appreciate if any engineer who has had the same feelings while studying their engineering degree guide me on how to set a clear path and figure things out. I would love to know how to bridge this gap between theory and practice which is something that's bugging me the most.

This is 2nd oder bandpass sallen key filter circuit. I have this audio in A1 with birds chirping while there is white noise which appears as a hiss. The bottom fourier graph is input audio. There is a bump between 2kHz and 6kHz indicating the birds chirping sound falls in that frequency range. So using this bandpass filter by calculating the required resistors' and capacitors' values, I tried to remove all the frequencies that don't fall in that range. But I can still hear the hiss sound in the so-called filtered audio. Not only that the top fourier graph is the filtered audio output and I can still see the unwanted frequencies. But why? I also tried to narrow the frequency range still nothing happened.

i don't know where to ask for it so I thought I might as well ask for it here. Can I get an audio file with preferably birds chirping while there is white noise in the background. I am supposed to remove it so that I get a clean audio with white noise removed. But I am unable to find such audio. I got one but it had rainfall in the background and both birds chirping and rainfall fall with in the same frequency range so its hard to remove rainfall sound I have heard its a form of shite noise
