Hi

I am using ANSYS 16 Workbench Mechanical. I have added some APDL commands where I run a loop over a group of selected nodes. However, I get an error. It gives me warning that "requested data is not stored for node _____". It solves for some nodes but not for all of them.

When I add a user generated result in workbench, and then I export the result manually to an excel file, the data for those nodes is present but somehow APDL cannot fined that stored data.

Can anyone help?

try including outres,all,all command in your APDL input file and resolve.

No it does not work. And to add to my statement above, I'm running these APDL commands in the solution section.

As far as I know, the reason why they are not being stored is because they are midside nodes. I have SOLID90 or SOLID87 in model. These models plot nodal values only at the corner. Most probably ANSYS takes an average of the corner nodal values when I try to export the result. This is something ANSYS probably does itself. However, when I try to get those values from APDL commands, they are not stored since they are not explicitly calculated.

What do you think?

That seems correct. Please mark your reply as a solution.

nDid you manage to find a solution to the problem? I'm stuck with the same problem...nCheers, Koenn

Unfortunately, there is not no solution to it. If the data is not stored by ANSYS for the particular element, you cannot extract it.n
