Hello, I am wondering how I can export temperature from all meshed points instead of just surface. I added "temperature", "locx", "locy" and "locz" under solution of "transient thermal analysis" and export them as txt files. Based on the coordinates from "locx", "locy" and "locz", I align "temperature" towards each node. In all txt files, node number does not start from 1. Besides, the visualization result from the alignment is wierd.

how are you visulaizing the data? does node sequence matter?

Also you need to export each location result you can instead use:

from mechanical>File>Options>Include Node Location>yes

and then export text file by right clicking on result:

The node sequence is not very important. I add LOCX, LOCY, LOCZ, and temperature under solution of transient thermal analysis. Then, I align the temprature value with corresponding its location (locx, locy, locz) and visualize it using python. However, it does not match what I see in the ANSYS. It should be a cuboid.

I see. I am wondering what is the difference between my approach and the approach you showed above? I am thinking that "LOCX", "LOCY", "LOCZ" also record the location. Thanks!
