Hello,

I would like to know if the ESEL command can use different VMIN condition for different element defined by etable. Or if there is another possible way (instead of using do-loops). I use the following code and it doesnt work.

etable,pl_stn,eppl,eqv
etable,hypress,nl,hpres
etable,el_eqs,s,eqv
sexp,triax,hypress,el_eqs,1,-1
sexp,h1,triax,,-1,1
sadd,crit1,h1,,0.015
esel,s,etab,pl_stn,crit1
esel,r,etab,triax,-1/3,0

Could someone help me with this problem please? Thank you!

Hi Andy

Yes different vmin's can be used for different selections.  Please describe what you mean be 'doesn't work'.  For example there is a big difference between ending up with an empty set to plot, and ending up with the wrong set to plot.  That being said using a element table as a vmin amount...well that's a new one on me.  I'm not sure that will work as I think you intend.  May need to change tactics there.  Mike
