limitation in number of listed results???
limitation in number of listed results???
(OP)
Hi,
I'm facing a problem that seems to me very strange, using ANSYS 10.0 sp1:
When I issue a PRNSOL command over a selected set of nodes, it doesn't report the results for ALL of the nodes currently selected but only for the first "few" in the list (precisely, 5030). Note that NLIST correctly lists all the 31180 currently selected nodes, as well as the /STAT report.
How is this possible???
Thanks in advance, regards

RE: limitation in number of listed results???
can it be, that the results are not available for all selected nodes?
I would try a "outres,all,all" before solving.
What kind of elements are associated with the missing node results?

RE: limitation in number of listed results???
in fact, this model has a complicated history because setup in WB and then solved partly in WB and partly in Classical.
The missing nodes are associated with the same elem type set as the listed nodes; all the elems / nodes belong to the same component.
The selection steps are:
ESEL,s,TYPE,,19
ALLSEL,BELOW
PRNSOL,S,PRIN
for example.
The elements (SOLID187) have midside nodes (not available for principal stresses), but the number of midside-nodes doesn't seem to match the number of missing nodes ! Probably I'm wrong in counting something, or I'll follow your suggestion and re-run everything with an explicit OUTRES command.
Thank you, regards

ESEL,s,TYPE,,19
NSLE,s,all
PRNSOL,S,PRIN

ALLSEL,BELOW and NSLE,s,ALL had the exact same effect.
I spent some time in controlling the locations of the listed nodes and, yes, it appears that I made some mistake before, because the listed nodes are exactly the corner nodes of the elements (no midside nodes, since principal stress results at midside nodes are not available for listing).
Sorry for your time wasted, thank you very much anyway,
