Get node of highest stress from selected area

Get node of highest stress from selected area

Get node of highest stress from selected area

(OP)
Hi,

I am a user of Ansys Mechanical.
I work with the APDL.

Once the analysis in Ansys is completed I would like to get a node of the highest stress as well as the element of the highest strain that is a part of a specific area.
In order to do get the node of the highest stress (von Misses) that belongs to specific area I have created the following APDL coding:

/POST1
ASEL,S,AREA,,100 (100- area number that I am interested in)
NSLA,S,1
NSORT,S,EQV,0,0,1
*GET,NSMAX,SORT,,IMAX

My kind questions would be:
- Is the coding correct for the stated purpose?
- How can I display the output of the above coding (to read the node number and the stress in it),
- I am also not certain how to modify the above coding to get the element associated with area '100' that experienced the highest mechanical strain (von Misses).

Please help.

Regards
