Hello!

If I have a multi-step analysis, how can I generate a maximum/minimum over time result? I would like to see e.g. the maximum stresses at each node from all of the steps.

Hello Tamas

You can select the chart option for the maximum value in results to plot maximum stress over all the steps as a graph.

 

 

Regards.

Hello Charudatta Bandgar 

I mean, plotting maximum over time (over steps) result as a contour plot, not as a graph. If I have two or more loadsteps, I would like to see the critical areas (e.g. stresses) from all of the steps in one conotur plot result for the full geometry.

From the Simulation steps, you can choose the step you want to see the results at, sorry if this is not what you are trying to get.

If I select "All steps" under "Simulation Step" and the slider under "Substep" was set to "Last", then I will only see the contour plot result for the last simulation step (if "All steps" selected, then Substep equals Simulation Steps), right?

Instead of this I need such a result that displays e.g. the maximum stresses from ALL steps in ONE contour plot. In this case the maximum values for each node (max(Step1;Step2;Step3;...)) are plotted on the screen, like an envelope result. This called in ANSYS Workbench as "Maximum/minimum over time".

Tamas I think that is not possible in AIM.

Okay, thank you
