How to view internal (slices) results in Ansys?

How to view internal (slices) results in Ansys?

How to view internal (slices) results in Ansys?

(OP)
Hello everybody!

I need to view the results in the internal structure of my model ( Ansys 14 ). Doing such thing in Solidworks/Cosmos is so simple - you just drag the plane and the model is cut/sliced in the point of our interest - however I am having some difficulties in Ansys. I have tried http://www.mece.ualberta.ca/tutorials/ansys/PP/Sli..., but I was not able to get the slice in region of my interest.

Can anyone help me, please?


Thanks!

RE: How to view internal (slices) results in Ansys?

Have you tried clicking "WorkPlane >> Align WP With >> Nodes +"?
That will allow you to define your workplane by selecting 3 nodes.
From there, the /CPLANE,1 command will set the cutting plane to the working plane.
...and the /TYPE,,SECT command will set the display type to "section" (also see /TYPE,,ZQSL or /TYPE,,CAP).
Once that's all set, just type /REPLOT and your section cut should display on the screen.
