I am doing a bone remodeling simulation using ANSYS. i need to extract elemental strain results and store in a text file for further processing. There is no option using *GET and *VGET command for elemental strain.
If you are using a transient dynamic analysis, it is possible to upload the results from the analysis processor with the general /POST1 processor in the interactive menu when they are not availabler. Use after that:
I have done it. The thing is for *vget command can not used for directly extracting the element results but can copy results stored in element table. So,
firstly you need to store that result parameter in element table using command
ETABLE,S_X,S,X !STORING X COMPONENT STRESS IN TABLE S_X
Then copying the stored value of element result parameter to a particular row of existing array using the command
*VGET, STRESS(1,6),ELEM,1,ETAB,S_X !COPYING THE Element table results in 6th row of array named STRESS
then writing the particular array to the txt file.
