finding material properties generated by equations in the post processor

      Hello everyone

      I had to use a command in the workbench to satisfy hill's theory for a beam, and now it works perfectly. But there is a small problem. For satisfying the hill's theory I have to calculate the C-2 and C_8 based on some equation from the other parameters and define the material by TB,ANISO following (all of the codes are not here since it is not related to the question) 

      TBDE,ANISO,1
      TB,ANISO,1
      !
      TBDATA,1, C_1, C_2, C_3, C_4, C_5, C_6
      TBDATA,7, C_7, C_8, C_9, C_10, C_11, C_12
      TBDATA,13, C_13, C_14, C_15, C_16, C_17, C_18

      the C_2 and C_8 are written based on the other parameters (C_1,C_3,C_7 and C_9) and after a few loops which satisfy my criteria. Now after solving the task, I need to know the value of the C_2 and C_8 however, I don't know how to get their value in post-processing since their value is based on the last iteration. Is there any way that I can see the material properties?

      thank you in advance

      Would the TBLIST,,, command give you what you want?

      Thank you for your reply. if I'm not wrong I need a command file in the post-processing and write " TBLIST,,, " in the command window and process it. The list should be in the solution information, right?

      I don't understand what you are doing in /POST1.

      TB and TBDATA and TBLIST are /PREP7 commands for defining and listing material properties before executing the solve.

      i have defined the material properties of the material in the preprocessor by using these codes:

      C_1, C_3, C_4, C_5, C_6, C_7, C_8 areactual numbers but

      C_2={some long equation based on other parameters of the material}       
      C_8={some long equation based on other parameters of the material}     

      now I can see every parameter except C_2 and C_8 that are calculated by equations. 

      how can I see the values?
