  Hi,
  i am currently trying to select elements that are within a ellipsoid shape.
  In the process i would like to use the ATAN2 function within Ansys APDL.
  I havent seen it from the help website.
  Is it implemented?
  Is there a workaround to gather same results other than having multiple conditions for each quadrant?
  
  BR

  Hi Johannes
  Check this table - is that the function you are looking for?
