ANSYS Additive Suite Thermal Profile

      I have been using the ANSYS Additive Print & Science simulation framework to model residual stress after a LPBF print (thermal strain simulation), and used the thermal history simulation to view average temperature around the melt pool during each layer of the print.

      My question is: Is it possible to extract the transient temperature data throughout the build process (i.e. for a given node, view the temperatures over time for the whole build)? Based on the description of how the thermal solver works, it seems as though this data should be computed but I cannot see any way to export this data on either the thermal strain simulation or the thermal history simulation.

      It appears as though this question was asked previously but not resolved:

      Thank you.
