Viewing results inside a volume
Viewing results inside a volume
(OP)
Hello,
In my model I have 2 cylinders glued and made of different materials and I would like to postprocess :
1. Only the results in the cylinder n°2 (contour plot and the values)
2. The nodal results inside this cylinder (the values) for example the value of NLHPRES in the center of the cylinder
Somebody knows how I can do these 2 points ?
Thanks
Regards

RE: Viewing results inside a volume
1) Create a coordinate system where the X-Y plane is that which you wish to view the results for. This is where you want to "slice" your model and evaluate at. Be sure that this coordinate system is set to be the work plane.
2) Change the hidden line options to Q-Slice. This can be done by:
Utility Menu->PlotCtrls->Style->Hidden Line Options and choose type to be Q-Slice.
or
/TYPE,1,8
RE: Viewing results inside a volume
In a nut shell, i want the results only in a part of my model.
For the second question, it's all wright, thanks but what I would like now are the values of the nodes in the section obtained with your method.
Thanks
Best regards
RE: Viewing results inside a volume
'Select entities' ---- to select the 2nd cylinder.
then, 'select---->everything below selected volumes'
RE: Viewing results inside a volume
Let's assume the material number you want to select is number 2:
esel,s,mat,,2
to select just the nodes for this material, then use:
nsle,s
The HPRES results for nodal solution has to be the nodal-element solution values:
plnsol,nl,hpres
