(OP)
hi every body

I would like to plot contour of some expresion in ANSYS APDL
the equation is sigma:epsilon+const sigmma-tensor,epsilon tensor
Is it possible in ansys APDL to do it as a user defined results
if yes please how?

Thanku very much

RE: User defined results in APDL

I don't understand your equation, but you can retrieve all the elements from the stress and strain tensors with *VGET in the form of vectors.
Then you can operate with those vectors with *VOPER
And finally you can insert the result from the solution vector into the database with *VPUT (you have to overwrite a result you are not using with your custom result and then plot it with PLNSOL)
Look up these commands in the ansys help.

RE: User defined results in APDL

You may look into ETABLEs for plotting custom contours. You can operate on ETABLEs with SADD and SMULT. PLETAB will create a contour plot of your ETABLE.
