  Hello I have done a compression test simulation on Ansys Workbench 2019 R2 and was wondering if I can view the equations used for the particular compression test or could I just retrieve the general governing equations used? If not is there any alternative way.

  You can not really get any equations out of a FEA software - it solves them and based on the FE method - see books on the subject, and also this very good course that explains this in detail :

  Is there any source that can provide FE mathematical equations for the model, need some for manuscript.

  See a book on FEA - or take a course and use your knowledge

  Yes, there is also a theory chapter in Ansys.
