Hi

So say we have two parts and added them (elements) into a component (use CM,CMENA,ELEM, and CM,CMTWO,ELEM ) and so we can select them separately via cmsel, then this plots (using /contour) stress results of them separately:

/POST1
SET, LAST
CMSEL,S,CMENA
NSLE
PLNSOL, S,X,
/CONTOUR,,,-11000,100,0
/REPLOT
/RESET
ALLSEL,ALL
CMSEL,S,CMTWO
NSLE
PLNSOL, S,X,
/CONTOUR,,,-12000,100,0
/REPLOT

All the best

Erik
