Does anyone know what the APDL command is to export the Material Field data? 
I would like to do the export automatically with an APDL command and not to do it manually in Workbench. 

Thank you!

Hi

 

Can you explain more what you are trying to do and also what you mean with Material Field Data?

 

The more information provided the more chance there is that someone in the forum can help.

 

All the best

Erik

I am calculating a short fiber reinforced component. I want to read the mapped orientation tensor from Ansys. The eigenvectors of the orientation tensor are the principal directions of the anisotropy (Element Orientation) and the eigenvalues describe the proportion of fibers in the three principal directions (Material Field).  These eigenvalues are stored in the Workbench under Materials/Imported Material Fields. With an APDL code I want to save these material fields automatically. 

 

I have managed the export of the principal directions (Element Orientation) with APDL. With the GET command *GET Preprocessing Items, Entity = CDSY

 

But now I am looking for the *GET command for the export of the eigenvalues (Material Field).

In the ds.dat file, the data I want to export is displayed like this. I want to export the values in the last column.
