I think a lot of people did. We were tweaking stuff so some made it, some didn't.

That's strange. I got a copy. Maybe Peter didn't.

This response got lost somehow yesterday.

Hi Peter,

For 1, John Crawford's sxyz.mac may be helpful...

Hi Peter,

For 1. You can look into the path commands For 2. You can look into the *vput command

Howdy,

I have posted this question on the ANSYS communities about a month ago with no response.
http://www1.ansys.com/customer/wb/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2830&PN=3 - if anyone is interested in pictures which might help visualise the problem. Hopefully someone here might be able to help.

Summary:
1. Is it possible in the APDL to retrieve stress values etc for an arbitrary point in space (like WB probe or query)?
2. Is it possible to contour a model based on user calculated nodal values?

Goal: Automate fatigue assessment of cyclic symmetric (geometry not loading) rotary models (e.g. drums etc). Currently I am analysing these items by including edges at the points of interest to obtain the stress profile(s) over the range (0-180
