Hello Ansys Users
in "ANSYS Workbench" how can I plot the Contact tool results (frictional stress, sliding distance...etc) with "length" (500mm for example) in the "x-axis" instead of default "by time" option???. the "Path" method can not be used with this type of results. any help or suggestions will be highly appreciated.
hi
Miguel A. Callejas do you know about how can i show water pressure in workbench?
my model is static analyse of dam-reservoir-foundation
I faced this problem, I tried all the possible solution using APDL coding etc. However, I found the easiest way is:
Go to Contact tool-> frictional stress
Then right click the mouse and select Export -> Export text file
Use Excel software to draw the frictional stress with node locations not the time.

Yes, this is one method which I used before.
I found another way using APDL command. you have to define a path in the specified distance and create coordinate systems at beginning and end of your path then insert an APDL command to plot the path mapped results.
Ahmed Mirghani I am facing with this problem, I want to plot the pressure (in contact tool) along the path. Could you help me to do it with APDL command in this case?
You have to define a path in the specified distance and create coordinate systems at beginning and end of your path then insert the following APDL command to plot the path mapped results.
I got this code from an Ansys expert
! Create a coordinate system at the start and end of your path
csys_start=12 ! Coordinate system named "12" for path start point
csys_end=13 ! Coordinate system named "13" for path end point /triad,off
