  You can use ETABLE command in Post1 to store this data. Please refer to Beam188 in the element reference manual at https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v221/en/ans_elem/Hlp_E_BEAM188.html
  FX is the axial force in the below table. You can use "ETABLE,AXIAL,SMISC,1" to store the axial force in a beam. Then you can use PRETABLE or PLETABLE to print/plot.

  Thank you, but could you tell me what should i click particular on order ? I clicked General postpro - element table - define table, smis 1. Then list results - element table data smis1 but i got differrent values of the axial forces on the same beam. Considering type of the loading it is not possible. Sorry if this is really stupid question, but I am a student and ansys apdl is really new for me . Thank you for responde and your time.
