To answer your second question (can't comment about first!), you can simply assign an identifier (lets assume myEqv) to an equivalent result object and insert another user-defined result with expression = myEqv/2 to get the desired result or you can create an ACT app to calculate desired custom results as explained in https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/Secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v211/en/act_cust_mech/act_Mech_FeatureCreation_Postprocessing.html, but in my opinion that would be an overkill if simple identifier + user defined result can work in your case.n-AniketnHow to access Ansys help linksnGuidelines for Posting on Ansys Learning Forum
