I am using the CONTA174 element in ANSYS Mechanical, which has an output parameter called DENER that I am interested in..

How do I access/view these results in the workbench?

Hello Muzamil,

 

After solving the analysis, you go the design tree -> click on Solution -> go to ribbon -> Home tab -> Worksheet -> click on Available Solution Quantities ->  find DENER -> right click -> Create User Defined Results.

Then go to the design tree and evaluate this user defined result.

As stated here : CONTA174 (ansys.com), this result is available only when one of the following material models is used: TB,CZM,,,,BILI or TB,CZM,,,,EXPO.

 

Let me know if this helps.

 

Thank you,

Tasos
