ANSYS-APDL How to get Stresses in lines

ANSYS-APDL How to get Stresses in lines

ANSYS-APDL How to get Stresses in lines

(OP)
I have a 3D grid of tetrahedrons. For example consider a sphere which is made of tetrahedrons with beam188 elements (It is not a solid volume). I apply a load at a node and there are some supports at some other nodes.
How can I get stress in each line? (As elements are beam188 there is only axial stress) I don't want stress in each element, I want stress in each line.
My goal is to write an APDL code which gets the stress in each line and then deletes lines with stresses of more than a certain amount. I am totally new to ansys and APDL.
Thanks for your help in advance :)
