Method for extracting equivalent stress / strain at each time step by APDL

      I am performing a uniaxial tension analysis over 40 time steps using an APDL script.
      However, after running the analysis, only the final results are returned, and I cannot obtain the intermediate equivalent stress and equivalent strain results.
      How can I retrieve these results for each time step?

      Make sure you use outres command to write results at all time steps before solving

      Then use the set command to select a specific result set and then plot the stress/strain results

      See help doc: OUTRES

      SET

      I made sure to include OUTRES commands like OUTRES,STRS,ALL and OUTRES,EPEL,ALL at each step. However, since there was no SET command, I created a separate script using /POST1. Is it collect？
