Reply To: How to extract running loads and moments from SHELL181 elements in workbench?

Interesting. Yea I'm aware of that tool in FEMAP, seems like as you mentioned it's the same with more steps. I feel like there should be a more convenient way of extracting those loads in each element however. Especially if say you want to get data from all elements individually instead of the sum of all the elements like what would output in your suggestion assuming it behaves as the FBD post processing tool in FEMAP. This post for example shows you can output M12 (Mxy) in Ansys but not much instruction on how that is done. Which is more or less what I was trying to achieve with that APDL script I wrote mentioned in the OP. So I feel like there has to be something there that I'm doing incorrectly, but the covenient solution is in that realm.
