How to extract maximum value of Von-Mises stress using a hybrid element model ?

  Hi everyone,
  I'm running a Static analysis, my model is having a hybrid build-up of elements (SHELL281, SOLID186 & BEAM188) in APDL using settings:
  ANTYPE, STATIC
  PSTRES,OFF
  PSOLVE,ELFORM
  PSOLVE, ELPREP
  
  Inorder to extract maximum stress in the element, I get the value as:
  *GET,max,PLNSOL,0,MAX
  My question is am I extracting the information correct ?

  No, you have to issue that *get command after actually doing a solution and making a plot of von-mises stress. For example, after antyp,static:
  solve
  /post1
  set,last
  ! /show,png (if running in batch)
  plns,s,eqv
  *GET,max,PLNSOL,0,MAX
