is it possible to obtain the opposite of a distortion or stress from an analysis and apply it back onto the model?

Something like you get a values(distortion or stress) from an analysis and you want to apply the opposite value of the result obtained at the begining of the same analysis to determine what effect it has on the result

could some pls guide me as to what direction i should proceed on?

thanx

Try to use the *vget command to read in the results in a predefined vector or table (see *dim command). Then apply the results as loads using the vector or table. You can very easy apply loads using a table vector, if the indexes are the x,y,z coordinates of the nodes. Also you can apply loads by using a do loop (command *do) through all nodes.

Alex
